Sir Francis Drake was a famous explorer.  He sailed around the world and defeated the Spanish armada.



Francis Drake was born around  1540-1544 in England and he died  January 28 1596 . He travelled in a ship  around the world. He found his home living and working on ships.



The king of Spain, king Philip  invaded  France Germany and The Netherlands.In 1588 he wanted to invade England.  Spain had 120 ships full of Spanish and European soldiers (forced to fight by the Spanish). Their strategy was to shoot all the canons at the English ships then board them and fight on the decks.

Sir Francis Drake, who was now 44 and worked for Queen Elizabeth the     first, commandeered l80 slow ships. He also built 25 extra sleeker faster ships with different guns.These only had sailors on board,no fighters. Their strategy was to shoot lots of times below the waterline,they never got close enough to be boarded.They chased the Spanish and they battled around England and Scotland,Ireland and won the Spanish armada.



Sir Francis drake died age of 55 of infected diarrhoea he was buried at sea in a lead coffin of the cost of Puerto Bella, Panama.
