The Golden Hind is a small English galleon that circled the Globe between 1577 and 1580.
It was the second ship in history to return from a circumnavigation of the world after the Magellanic karakka Victoria.
The captain of the ship was Sir Francis Drake.
The circumnavigation of the Golden Hind lasted 2 years, 10 months and 11 days.
Originally, this three-masted flagship was called the Pelican.
Its length was only 36.5 meters, width — 6.7 meters, cargo capacity — no more than 150 tons.
The galleon was equipped with 22 guns.
The Pelican was the only one of Drake's six ships to make it through the Strait of Magellan.
Upon reaching the Pacific Ocean, Drake renamed it in honor of his court patron, Lord Chancellor Christopher Hutton, whose coat of arms depicted a golden doe.
In 1973, British shipbuilders made an exact copy of the Golden Hind, which, four centuries after Drake, repeated the route of its famous predecessor. In total, the new Golden Hind has traveled a distance of 225,000 km. Since 1996, it has been permanently parked in the London borough of Southwark on the south bank of the Thames. It is used as a museum: On the ship, you can see schoolchildren dressed up as Tudor sailors.
Another copy of the Golden Hind has been moored to the harbor of Brixham in Devonshire since 1963.
