Sir Francis Drake, son of Edmund Drake, sailor and after-
wards Vicar of Upchurch, was born at Crowndale,
near Tavistock about 1545, but the exact date is
uncertain. He was apprenticed when young to the
master of a Channel coaster, and his master, dying
childless, left the vessel to him. He seems to have
followed this trade for a short time, but in 1565-6
went on some voyages to Guinea and the Spanish
Main with Captain Lovell. In 1567 he commanded
the 'Judith' of 50 tons in Sir John Hawkins' voyage
to the West Indies, and barely escaped in the fight
at San Juan de Ulloa. Immediately on his return
to England, Drake was sent to London to 'inform Sir
William Cecil of all the proceedings of the expedition.'
In 1570 he went on a voyage to the West Indies
with two ships, the Dragon' and the 'Swan,' and
in 1571 with the 'Swan' alone, 'to gain such intel-
ligences as might further him to get some amends
for his loss at San Juan de Ulloa. And having
in those two voyages gotten such certain notice of
the persons and places aimed at as he thought
requisite' he resolved on a third voyage. He sailed
from Plymouth on 24th May 1572 with two small
ships, the 'Pasha' and 'Swan,' carrying seventy three
men, and three 'dainty' pinnaces all in pieces
and stowed aboard to be set up again as occasion
served' with intent to land at Nombre de Dios.
