El Dracque may have treated his prisoners with respect and dignity but treated his crews with typical 16th Century authoritarian style of the times. He ended up executing his second having been charged with a ridiculous crime (other than calling it Mutiny) on top of the atrocious loss of men and ships. Plenty of soapy drama in the personal accounts too. 🦇
The Brits sure love the Golden Hind(e), there are four other replicas that existed in varying quality and accuracy. The 1973 version was crafted by genuine shipwrights using traditional techniques used of the 16th century, then traveled around the world before retired as a Tourist trap as you see in the picture.

That's so interesting @kerrislravenhill I love seeing these tall ships in person! BC...Before Covid... I was looking at taking Liz on a tall ship lunch/dinner cruise on the Zodiac that is home ported in Bellingham!😀
Here's the front of the same 1973 Replica Golden Hind(e)

What a beauty, just imagine a full crew on board, what a sight to behold!😊
Nyssacat373 got this for me from a News Stand last year as I didn't see it at my Drugstore at all. I am sure he didn't accidentally borrow it from his Doctor's office waiting room.
