My great uncle was a sailor that died on a shipwreck my grandfather, father, uncle and aunt all sailed and I grew up admiring their sea stories and later found out about Sir Francis Drake and wanted to explore the world like him. I became a merchant marine and learned all about the engine room, and deck side navigation and deck work. I spent 25 years as a merchant marine that sailed the 7 seas. I had some great adventures
I grew up in Kodiak AK and began fishing commercially at eleven. After 23 seasons in 4 different fisheries, I called it quits. I learned how to play cribbage watching them as they told their stories. There were a lot of them.
Francis Drake killed innocent people, burned down villages for gold he wanted to steal. Francis Drake was a Pirate. Queen Elizabeth legalized Piracy, England 200 years later would make piracy illegal but King George I pardons all Pirates in 1717 if they stop piracy. Drake was an immoral man.
En realidad no era tan sencillo, primero existen leyes internacionales para el océano y también en las guerras, es algo de siempre y en aquella época todo ataque con el objetivo de saquear, sean navíos o aldeas, piratas en el mar, salteadores de caminos en tierra, pero si es un ataque durante una guerra declarada entre sus respectivos países, se considera acción de guerra y con la patente de corso salvaban el cuello, berberiscos, Otomanos y demás enemigos de la monarquía hispánica,respetaban estas leyes, hasta que se juntaron la virgen y el dragón. Saludos cordiales
Of course the queen didn’t give a fuck about any dead Spanish men as long as she was getting rich as fuck. Encouraged and financed the English privateers LOL that’s crazy the world was so different back then
You don't have a better hero in England to show to the world, really? In Spain, which was very knowledgeable about Drake, he was considered a coward and a simple bandit. He avoided direct confrontation with the Spanish army. Treasure of El Dorado? Explain it a little, please. If you want to know the story of true heroes for their courage, determination and tenacity, in the history of Spain you will find plenty of examples. Real heroes.
As someone who’s born and raised in Plymouth Drake is a hero for us, ok he was born in Tavistock which is 10 miles outside of Plymouth but we still count him as one of our own as Plymouth is were the navel base is and was in his time as Tavistock is a small town today and it would’ve been an even smaller town on Dartmoor back then
Yes, agree. The biggest laugh I had was the pronunciation of Cartagena, it isn't Cartajeana or Cartagenna, it is /ka:ta'hena/ de las Indias. Charles and Camilla came about 12 years ago to unveil a monument there to honour British Piracy. How embarrassing. The Lord Mayor of the city had it demolished as soon as they left.😂
I do wish you Englishmen stop misspelling and mispronouncing foreign names out of laziness. To begin with the surname is Magallanes and NOT "Magellan". The same happens with the great Italian painter Tiziano to whom you call "Titian". I always strived to pronounce foreign names correctly which I think shows due respect to their respective languages and cultures.
@@anneburton4330 There was never a monument. There was a plaque. A plaque that commemorated British loses in a much later war of 1740s. The mayor was behind the idea of the plaque because it was commemorating a historical event. A month later some local "environmentalist" vandalized the plaque. The plaque was removed, ostensibly for restoration and rephrasing, but never returned. Why Colombian environmentalists were so butthurt for Spaniards, their former colonial masters, is anybody's guess. Colombia only gained its independence from Spain in 1819.
And at 6:33 we have a lovely shot of a surfaced submarine which - judging by its wash, is doing in the region of 10 knots against the wind I love such authenticity....
Burning people at the stake for not being papists is not like today where you merely passively aggressively invite em over to your manor to burn em a steak when you *know* they're all vegetarian.
I have worked on some of these replica sqyare riggers, tall ships. I read this book about Drake and it was just incredibly amazing. I read this about 30m years ago and, in one attack he got tons and tons of silver. Bricks stacked in a huge collum 8 feet by 30 feet of silver bars. A few chests of Emerals, and other prescious stones, not as much gold but the ships made it back and the holds of the ships were full of silver and what ever else they could fit down there. They said a million pounds Sterling?
Thank you for this. A great read on Drake is the book "The Wind Commands me " By Ernle Bradford. Excellent and quite informative. By the way, I am a descendant of Adam of Adam and Eve. lol!
@@bunyipdragon9499Well now, according to Consuelo Maquívar, in those 249 years ONLY 43 people were sentenced at the stake of 300 defendants; 17 in XVI, 25 in XVII, and only one in XVIII, no sentenced were in XIX. But of course, cannot be compared to the 72,000 sentenced to death by Henry VIII that at least, 50,000 victims were Catholic.
Its really ironic he landed on point reyes and i live in california. Although i dont condone his actions his accomplishments as a sailor are a great source of pride for me.
I am a direct descendant, Thai Drake Barker, my father, grandfather, great Grandfather, and his father before him all share the middle name of Drake in his namesake. Very proud of my ansectory

I live in Plymouth England. Until recently we had a street named after your ancestor Hawkins. Being somewhat left wing, our city council renamed the street just after the BLM riots, because Hawkins had some connection with slavery. I hope someday the street name is restored since he played an important role in our local history.
No he faked his death and then went on to find the treasure of El dorado that the Spanish took and he died by the cursed Spaniards while stopping it from being taken of the island.
That’s an interesting little fact about your history… Can I ask why you thought both he and Drake died at sea? They’re such well known and documented men that it seems a bit of a strange conclusion to have reached, especially if you’ve done some research into your history…
Just saw this upload and had to click on it cause my name is actually Frances Drake (with an e cause that's the female spelling for the name), and I also found out a few years ago, I am distantly related to him. The name is just a coincidence, though. That's my maternal grandmother's name, and I was her first granddaughter. Hardly anyone calls me Frances, though, cause I never liked the name.
Hey cuzzy 👋, lol, related here too, there are a few Frances Drakes on the Drake family tree, seems a popular name. I am from the Drakes that imergrated to NZ.
Queen Mary wasn't trying to hand the country over to Spain. She wanted it to return to the religion it had been until her father wanted to rid himself of his lawful wife, her mother. Had she married another Catholic prince, it would be claimed that she wanted to hand it over to that country. She was the first QR and wanted to restore the religion, of course she couldn't have a husband without this accusation. Why don't you think Elizabeth I got married? One of the same reasons. She could only realistically marry someone of the same status & religion. Her religion happened to be semi common at that point. Queen Elizabeth 2 faced the same thing and that is why Prince Phillip couldn't be a king and couldn't give his children his name. It wasn't even his name lol. He had to give up any claim he had to European crowns. I'm not sure if he was ever raised in Greek orthodoxy but he had to give that up too
There were several "ifs" in the way. If Mary had children, if Philip's eldest son from a previous wife died childless, England would have been folded into Spanish Empire in exactly the same way Holland and Nederlands were.
This was weak! You can tell when these are going to be weak when they have the dressed up actors. They put more effort into the costumes than the information. The info in this was the same you will see on any basic Drake docu. Brief mentions of all the exciting stuff. Drake was a BEAST.
I don't like the cathophobic vibe of this. Numbers of victims to the protestant revolution is in no way compareable to those of catholic reaction. With the beginning of the anglicanism in England all the priests who refused to reject Rome were slauthered. Monasteries together with their charity work were sacked and technological advancements in metalurgy, farming, etc. lost with monks's heads. The people meanwhile were denied catholic sacraments by the aristocracy, who would pay for finding and killing priests, hidden among the peasantry. No wonder catholics feared protestants in England. I mean, when did the first catholic since the revolution, become an MP?, let alone a prime minister? Google it
Elizabeth I legalized Piracy, had a Dark Black Magician as her advisor John Dee & had her cousin Mary Queen of Scots I executed. Also her English Counter Armada to invade Spain was a bigger disaster than the Spanish Armada & it wasn’t the weather like what happened to the Spanish but they lost in a bigger battle. Queen Elizabeth I wasn’t this Saint British History likes us to believe, propaganda.
Poor Francis Drake, he beat the spanish armada only a year later to be defeated at the Portuguese coast has he was trying to take Lisbon...beaten with was left of the portuguese and spanish fleet... not sorry for him...
The curious thing about the case is that the pirate Drake after dying poisoned by his own henchmen in Portobello his noble descendants who living in the Caribbean; went to Cuba to the sugar plantations in 18 century and renouncing anf denying their criminal ancestor who by the way had many more failures than successes such the English Army or "invincible English" in 1589 a great faillure with many thousands of english victims and almost died in it; and disowning Great Britain and becoming subjects of Spain ; currently his discendants.in Spain disown him and are Marquises/ Marqueses de Cañada Honda even one deputy and senator for Segovia and Spanish Queen Maria Cristina granted him in 1.893 the Great Order of Isabella the Catolic and Knight of the Royal Master of Cavalry Emilio Drake de La Cerda in this case one of his descendants and wose dinasty exists today and some Spaniards and not in Great Britain if not the hate Spain of Francis Drake and much loved by this Spanish descendants; Spain he had won him even after the died and the loot was nothing less than his own lineage and blood

What about us attack on Santa Domingo? Did they say anything about that? I didn't hear anything said about that. Did I miss it?
That's is a really well told story

It's always strange to me how obsessed with England and people like Francis Drake some Spanish people can get on the internet
According to Drake's own pen, he would never forgive Spain for the inquisition where his family was butchered & he was tortured as well.
I don't claim to understand half of this word salad,
but Drake had no children either in his 2 marriages or known illegitimate.
