Francis Drake was born in Tavistock, Devon in around 1540 and went to sea at an early age. In 1567, Drake made one of the first English slaving voyages as part of a fleet led by his cousin John Hawkins, bringing African slaves to work in the 'New World'.Sir Frances Drake was an explorer and a navigator. According to BBC, Drake was the first Englishmen to circumnavigate the globe. Drake's legacy is that he saw the Pacific Ocean and he captured the port of Nombre de Dios on the Isthmus of Panama. He later returned to England with Spanish treasure. The Nombre de Dios was a small colony founded by Spanish settlement, and was the first of many colinies to be built on the Isthmus of Panama. The spanish treasure that Drake brought back made the Queen happier as could be. Sir Frances Drake has been remembered in English history for many years, and many more to come. //Answer prepared by Steven S.
