- A tour around the 1988 replica of the 1577 built Galleon of Sir Francis Drake at Brixham Harbour, South Devon on 28th September 2018. It was in this vessel that Sir Francis Drake circumnavigated the globe via the South Americas between 1577 and 1580.
I'm pretty sure the developers of Sea of Thieves used this ship to model their galleon
You're right
The funny thing is, I’m one of the descendants of sir Francis, I would love to see his ship someday
He didn’t have children…
My Mum took me and a couple of mates to see the Golden Hind for my birthday when I was a kid, and to be honest, I thought it was cr*p.
Now I'm an adult I'd really love to see her again, I'm that guy who holds up the tour group because I stop to read every word on every placard, lol 🙂
I got to tour the Hind in port Canaveral,fla. with my good friend Vince Sapporo. It was awesome!
I’ve been there!
Brixham looks a quiet place this time of year
Video Outtakes thank god
I was on this in Portland oregon in 1987
The Golden Hind built by Bülent Sayar was more realistic. It was the best replica.
Was a light Spanish style galleon that the pirate stole from Brazil and named it.. Oh .. That was The Maygold", which they later on lost in a storm..
Is this a full scale replica?
Yes, full scale built on an old trawler
@@WarshipTV Nice! Thank you!
looks like a lego model.
very....small. to a well-known pirate's frontier kind of ship fleet.
nope
@@larryzigler6812 (sorry. nearly missed you there).
'nope'.
'no'?....
....
hrm.
then again, I'm half-remembering this place.
(wonder what this video subject was again from back then?....).
@@CaptainPilipinas Nothing Lego about it
@@larryzigler6812 (ah. I was thinking on continuing this for Hours later, but): no, no. nevermind that. I now remembered this place from earlier, yeah.
(though I did not continued with a second reply from me....
my bad).
anyways.
'Nothing Lego abou-'.
hrm. I do not remembered Fully much in here still. but when looking at this old ship's from afar, it may have been for me from 2+ Years ago. probably it.
Is it seaworthy?
No, based on a trawler but now is permently anchored at Brixham
@@WarshipTV Thanks for the info!
I actually prefer the look of this one but its a bit small
Wait is that the real one
Sadly a replica built on a trawler chassis
Noooooo! The real Golden Hind was scuttled many many years ago. We have quite a few good replicas around. Sadly this isn't one of them.
That's rather small for a galleon, isn't it?
Compared to what?
Compared to which era in history?
@@paulallen8109 Compared to other Dutch or Spanish merchant galleons of the 16th and 17th centuries. This one strikes me as small.
@@mayorgeneralramirez1997 small is better. When Spanish used huge galleon's in the battle of the armada, it played a downfall due to the slow movement, and after being drifted north from bad weather many Spanish ships sunk due to more shallow waters where the galleon's were too big
@@joshATK A warship needs to be big if it's planned to use it in a full-fledged sea battle. A war galleon could have two decks of guns adding up to 50/60 cannons. It is true that the shallow waters and size of the keels made them fall, but my point still stands that that small galleon of 8 cannons is a lightweight compared to any other spice freighter. It's best asset is speed, not it's ordinance. Sir Francis Drake used it in discovery missions, scouting for the English Armada and for piracy, quite fitting for the purpose. As a freighter? A bit too small to be as profitable as any average Dutch ship. As a warship combating in high seas? You wouldn't see it facing an enemy flagship.
It’s not really a galleon per say if you compare it to ships rates in Nelson’s day it’s like a 3-4th rate
The Golden BeHind??
Oh BeHave will ya
Then in 1591 "The Great Pirate" was wounded while attacking San Juan,
Puerto Rico and died 2 weeks later at sea. English lied again and said
he died from a "normal tropical disease".. Yes, Cannon Fire from
Tropical San Juan, Puerto Rico, LOL.. Admiral Hawkins died on that
battle too and was buried at sea in front of San Juan.. That one they
didnt deny at least.
I wouldn’t want to sail around the world in that piece of shit
This is a terrible video no narration, lousy camera work, horrible sound just the wind and background noise. Hell some kids with cell phones and an encyclopedia page to read out of would have better.
