EspañolGOLDEN HIND
(Redirected from Golden Hinde)
The '''Golden Hind''' (or '''Golden Hinde''') was an English galleon best known for its global circumnavigation between 1577 and 1580, captained by Sir Francis Drake. She was originally known as the ''Pelican'', and was renamed by Drake in mid-voyage in 1577, as he prepared to enter the Straits of Magellan, calling it the ''Golden Hind'' to compliment his patron, Sir Christopher Hatton, whose armorial crest was a golden hind (the heraldic term for a doe).
A modern full size replica of the ship, also called the ''Golden Hinde'', was built in Appledore, Devon and launched in 1973. It has travelled more than 140,000 miles (225 000 km), a distance equal to more than five times around the globe. Like the original, it circumnavigated the world.
Since 1996 it has been berthed at St Mary Overie's Dock, in Bankside, Southwark, London, between Southwark Cathedral and Clink Street (). It hosts visits from schools in which children can dress up as Tudor sailors and receive living history lessons about Elizabethan naval history.
A second replica has been permanently moored in the harbour of the sea port of Brixham in Devon () since 1963 (see photo).
For many years, a Great Lakes dry bulk carrier was named ''Golden Hind'', in honour of the original ship. She was a steam turbine powered tanker built in Collingwood, Ontario, during 1951-1952. She sailed as the ''Imperial Woodbend'' under the Canadian flag for Imperial Oil. Transformed during the winter of 1954-1955 when Imperial's need for her ended, she was converted to a 601.50' dry bulk carrier at Port Weller, Ontario. She resumed sailing for the Mohawk Navigation Company. Carrying primarily iron ore and grain cargoes, she sailed the Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence Seaway for many years until the downturn in the North American steel industry and changing patterns in the grain trade spelled her end. Laid up throughout much of the early half of the 1980s due to lack of cargoes, the veteran ore carrier was finally sold for scrap in 1986 after making a handful of trips for the Groupe Desgagnes fleet.
