The Golden Hind is renowned for its circumnavigation of the globe under the command of Sir Francis Drake. Originally named the Pelican, Drake renamed the ship the Golden Hind in honor of Sir Christopher Hatton, one of the expedition's patrons, whose coat of arms featured a golden hind (female deer). The Golden Hind set sail from Plymouth, England, on December 13, 1577, and successfully navigated the globe, covering approximately 40,000 miles. In 1580, Drake returned to England with treasures and newly claimed lands. Queen Elizabeth I knighted Drake on the deck of the Golden Hind in 1581, cementing its place in maritime history.
