"The Golden Hinde was laden with
Spanish treasure of such value that investors in
Drake’s voyage, including Queen Elizabeth I,
received £47 for every £1 invested. Drake was
duly knighted by a grateful monarch, whose
share of the spoils enabled the crown to pay
off England’s national debt....his later achievements, notably
his leading role in the defeat of the defeat of the Spanish
Armada in 1588."
Wow!
