Year 5 - The Golden Hinde

golden-hind

The Golden Hinde was launched in 1973 and is a full-size replica of the Golden Hind, an English galleon launched in 1577 and best known for her privateering circumnavigation of the globe between 1577 and 1580, captained by Sir Francis Drake.

The Ship is now a history-packed museum, brought to life by the knowledgeable crew.  You are able to explore at your own pace or join the crew to experience life as a 16th-century sailor.

Today our Year 5 children were lucky enough to climb aboard and explore the galleon in all its beauty.  The children were immersed in seafaring history and a fabulous day was had by all.

Aye aye captain!!!!
