  • Introduction English Worthies: the Age of Expansion Remembered 1
    Notes Introduction English Worthies: The Age of Expansion Remembered 1. Fuller, History of the Worthies of England (London, 1662), 318/Sss2v (pagination to both editions is unreliable; I have given page numbers where these seem useful, followed by signature). Subsequent citations to the two editions of Fuller’s work are given in the text as Worthies 1684 or Worthies 1662. 2. For copies of Hariot, I have consulted the online English Short Title Catalogue (ESTC) at http://estc.bl.uk (accessed July 2007). 3. I am indebted for these references to Matthew Day’s excellent thesis on Hakluyt, Richard Hakluyt’s Principal Navigations (1598–1600) and the Textuality of Tudor English Nationalism. (D. Phil., York, 2003). 4. Hakluyt’s 1589 collection included a brief account of the circumnavi- gation summarized from a manuscript no longer extant—these “Drake leaves,” 12 folio sides of black letter text, fall between pages 643 and 644 but are themselves unpaginated, an indication that they were added at some point after the rest of the volume had gone to press. The first full-length account of Drake’s epochal voyage in English, The World Encompassed, did not appear until 1628, several decades after Drake’s death. 5. Cal. S.P. For. 1584–85, 19:108. Harry Kelsey thinks the reference is to the circumnavigation of 1577–80 (Sir Francis Drake: The Queen’s Pirate [New Haven: Yale University Press, 1998], 178). Mary Frear Keeler believes the reference is to evolving plans for what became Drake’s voyage to the West Indies in 1585–86 (Sir Francis Drake’s West Indian Voyage.

  • Sir Francis Drake's Attack on St. Augustine, 1586 Introduction
    1 Sir Francis Drake’s attack on St. Augustine, 1586 Introduction Five years after leading the first English circumnavigation of the globe in 1577–1580, Sir Francis Drake led a raid against Spanish settlements in the Caribbean including Santiago, Santo Domingo, and Cartagena, as well as St. Augustine (in present-day Florida). This engraving, by Baptista Boazio, was made to accompany a book describing Drake’s 1586 expedition, A Summarie and True Discourse of Sir Francis Drake’s West Indian Voyage (published in 1588– 1589). The illustration depicts the attack of Drake’s fleet of twenty-three ships on St. Augustine, which was captured and destroyed on May 28–30, 1586. Although Boazio was not on the voyage, he worked from firsthand accounts. The engraving is the earliest known surviving view of a New World city north of Mexico. Drake operated as a privateer under a “letter of marque and reprisal” issued by Queen Elizabeth I. His operations were part of the long-standing and escalating tensions between Protestant England and Catholic Spain. The Boazio illustrations and A Summarie and True Discourse of Sir Francis Drake’s West Indian Voyage were published following the English victory over the Spanish Armada in 1588.

So far Roc's career had been very much like that of many other Companions of the Coast, differing from them only in respect to intensity and force, but he was a clever man with ideas, and was able to adapt himself to circumstances. Acceptable Use Privacy Suggestions. The acquisition of gold and all sorts of plunder seemed to be the sole object of this Spanish expedition; natives were enslaved, and subjected to the greatest hardships, so that they died in great numbers. He therefore went to the captain of the vessel and informed him that he had on board one of the very worst pirates in the whole world, whose wicked deeds were well known in various parts of the West Indies, and who ought immediately to be delivered up to the civil authorities. It makes for great film drama, but pirates didn't actually do this. Social Facebook. This collection is provided by the Library of Congress. As we have seen, the hatred of the Spaniards by the buccaneers began very early in the settlement of the West Indies, and in fact, it is very likely that if there had been no Spaniards there would never have been any buccaneers; but in all the instances of ferocious enmity toward the Spaniards there has been nothing to equal the feelings of Roc, the Brazilian, upon that subject.

  • AGENDA ITEM No. 9 the Story of the Statue in 1882 a Civic Delegation
    1 AGENDA ITEM No. 9 The story of the Statue In 1882 a civic delegation from the Mayor of Plymouth arrived in Tavistock to raise funds to erect a statue to Sir Francis Drake on Plymouth Hoe. Incensed at the idea that the Plymothians were attempting to steal Tavistock’s famous son, the worthies of Tavistock led by Rev Edward Spencer headmaster of the Grammar School agreed to start a fund to raise money for a bronze statue of Drake. Before they could launch their appeal Hastings Russell, the Ninth Duke of Bedford, offered to pay for the statue as a gift to the town. The Duke commissioned the Austrian born sculptor, Joseph Edgar Boehm (1834 - 1890), who was a member of the Royal Academy and sculptor-in-ordinary to Queen Victoria. Various sites for the statue in Tavistock were considered, including Bedford Square, the Meadows and Fitzford. Boehm thought that Fitzford would showcase his work to best advantage where it would be within view of Crowndale where Drake was born. The 10ft high statue, which had been cast in Surrey, came by train to Tavistock on Friday 21st September 1883 and remained at Tavistock South station overnight. At 6.0am the following morning it was taken the half mile to Fitzford. The two tons of metal were hoisted into position and a sheet was thrown over the statue to await the official opening fixed for the following Thursday, September 27th. After a prayer and speeches, the statue was unveiled followed by a lunch for the dignitaries at the Town Hall.
