Sir Francis Drake
 Sir Francis Drake was an English explorer, sea captain,
privateer, navigator, slaver, and politician of the
Elizabethan era.
 Drake is famous for he carried out the second
circumnavigation (travelling all the way around the
planet) in a single expedition, from 1577 to 1580.
 For which later Elizabeth I of England awarded Drake a
knighthood.
 His exploits were legendary, making him a hero to the
English but a pirate to Spain.
 The king of Spain (1554-98) Philip II also offered a
bounty of £4 million (US$6.5M) for Drake’s life.
 Drake also happens to be the second wealthiest pirate
ever.
 Drake was born in Devon, England.
 His exact date of birth is unknown but it is said to be
some where between 1540-1544.
 He was born to Edmund Drake a farmer and was the
eldest of 12 sons.
 Drake's father apprenticed Francis when he was 12 to
his neighbour, the master of a huge sailing ship.
 This ship was used for trading and transporting
merchandises to France.
 The ship master was very much satisfied with the young
Drake's talents and ability to sail
 The ship master was unmarried and had no family so
after his death Drake owned the ship.
Sailing Career
 At age 23, Drake made his first voyage to the
America, sailing with his brother.
 He was soon enlisted as a British privateer. He
would guard the coast and seized many illegal
merchant ships.
 Drake had captured many Spanish ships and
since the Spanish and British were rivals he
simply became a respected and famous English
figure.
 Now that Drake had become famous, he was
supported by the queen to raid Spanish
treasure and war ships and their overseas
colonies coasts all over the world.
 The queen provided him expense, comrades,
crew and also a better ship.
 Drake had performed this very well and had
also carried out circumnavigation of the world
in three years in the process of this.
 King of Spain Philip II was furious over the
actions of Drake for which he placed the a
bounty and became an infamous pirate for
the Spaniards.
 With time passing by the Anglo-Spanish
relations became worse and soon Philip II
declared war on Britain.
 The queen again appointed Drake as an very
important figure in the war.
 He was appointed as the chief in command
with 20 ships under command.
Slave Trading
 Drake apart from being a sailor was also a pioneer
in slave trading.
 He had made three great expeditions to western
Africa, making fortunes through the abduction and
transportation of West African people, and then
exchanging them for high-value goods and wealth.
 The kidnapping and forced transportation of people
was a criminal offence under English law at the
time, but legal protection did not extend to slaves,
non-Protestants or criminals and thus did not effect
him or his reputation.
Political career
 Drake also had quite an political career, by the
help of his fame.
 In September 1581, Drake became the Mayor
of Plymouth.
 And was also a member of parliament in 1581,
for an unknown constituency (possibly
Camelford), and again in 1584 for Bossiney
and Plymouth in 1593.
Death
 In 1955s he failed to conquer the port of Las Palmas, and
he again suffered a number of defeats, he unsuccessfully
attacked San Juan de Puerto Rico, eventually losing the
Battle.
 The Spanish gunners shot a cannonball through the cabin
of Drake and he survived.
 But after a few weeks later, in January 1596, he died of
dysentery when he was about 55 in Panama.
 This caused the English fleets to withdraw.
 Before dying, he asked to be dressed in his full armour. He
was buried at the sea in a lead coffin.
 Divers continue to search for the coffin even today.

  • 2.  Sir Francis Drake was an English explorer, sea captain, privateer, navigator, slaver, and politician of the Elizabethan era.  Drake is famous for he carried out the second circumnavigation (travelling all the way around the planet) in a single expedition, from 1577 to 1580.  For which later Elizabeth I of England awarded Drake a knighthood.  His exploits were legendary, making him a hero to the English but a pirate to Spain.  The king of Spain (1554-98) Philip II also offered a bounty of £4 million (US$6.5M) for Drake’s life.  Drake also happens to be the second wealthiest pirate ever.
  • 3.  Drake was born in Devon, England.  His exact date of birth is unknown but it is said to be some where between 1540-1544.  He was born to Edmund Drake a farmer and was the eldest of 12 sons.  Drake's father apprenticed Francis when he was 12 to his neighbour, the master of a huge sailing ship.  This ship was used for trading and transporting merchandises to France.  The ship master was very much satisfied with the young Drake's talents and ability to sail  The ship master was unmarried and had no family so after his death Drake owned the ship.
  • 4. Sailing Career  At age 23, Drake made his first voyage to the America, sailing with his brother.  He was soon enlisted as a British privateer. He would guard the coast and seized many illegal merchant ships.  Drake had captured many Spanish ships and since the Spanish and British were rivals he simply became a respected and famous English figure.
  • 5.  Now that Drake had become famous, he was supported by the queen to raid Spanish treasure and war ships and their overseas colonies coasts all over the world.  The queen provided him expense, comrades, crew and also a better ship.  Drake had performed this very well and had also carried out circumnavigation of the world in three years in the process of this.

  • 8. Slave Trading  Drake apart from being a sailor was also a pioneer in slave trading.  He had made three great expeditions to western Africa, making fortunes through the abduction and transportation of West African people, and then exchanging them for high-value goods and wealth.  The kidnapping and forced transportation of people was a criminal offence under English law at the time, but legal protection did not extend to slaves, non-Protestants or criminals and thus did not effect him or his reputation.
  • 9. Political career  Drake also had quite an political career, by the help of his fame.  In September 1581, Drake became the Mayor of Plymouth.  And was also a member of parliament in 1581, for an unknown constituency (possibly Camelford), and again in 1584 for Bossiney and Plymouth in 1593.
  • 10. Death  In 1955s he failed to conquer the port of Las Palmas, and he again suffered a number of defeats, he unsuccessfully attacked San Juan de Puerto Rico, eventually losing the Battle.  The Spanish gunners shot a cannonball through the cabin of Drake and he survived.  But after a few weeks later, in January 1596, he died of dysentery when he was about 55 in Panama.  This caused the English fleets to withdraw.  Before dying, he asked to be dressed in his full armour. He was buried at the sea in a lead coffin.  Divers continue to search for the coffin even today.
