The Golden Hinde is a full size reconstruction of Sir Francis Drake’s famous ship. It is a unique opportunity to look at life on board a 16th century ship, which was once home to 60 people! It was in The Golden Hinde that Drake circumnavigated the globe and claimed California for Queen Elizabeth I. He returned to London three years after setting out from Plymouth and was knighted aboard the ship.
