The Golden Hind

The Golden Hind was one of Francis Drake's ships. He sailed round the world from 1577 to 1580.  The Golden Hind was 75 feet long and 20 feet wide. The men had to live in the boat.  It was small.  They slept on the floor. They ate pork, beef, cheese, dry fish and biscuits.  There was no fruit.  Many men became ill and died.
