#4 This picture was taken when Drake claimed California for Queen and Country. She had a great Golden Hind In the Spanish Court her name was El Draque, Ole! Some of the riches plundered by Drake. She returned from California to England with much gold. (Poppies that is) Daily Piernas (Gam) Shot. As a Privateer she would often disguise herself as Spanish. The Spanish considered Drake a Pirate.  |
