Francis drake was born in Tavistock, Devon, sometime
between 1541 and 1543.
His main goal was to do the second circumnavigation of the
globe
He was an apprentice on a trading ship which was given to
him when the master died. After selling this ship, he
returned to Devon and sailed with his relative John
Hawkins. Hawkins and Drake made the first English slaving
voyages, bringing African slaves to work in the 'New World'.
Francis’s travel

The voyage took three years, from
1577 to 1580..

After reaching America, Drake was
worried that his ships might get
separated from each other, so he
gave orders for two of them to be
destroyed. Then the Marigold was
lost, with all her crew,
By October 1578, as the company
started up the western coast of
South America, there were just 58
people left, all on the Pelican, so
Drake renamed his ship the Golden
Hind.

The end

He died at sea on his final voyage
on the coast of Panama, in Nombre
de Dios Bay. He had been suffering
from dysentery for a while and on
January 1596, he died. His body
was placed inside a lead casket and
he was slipped overboard. Two
other ships, his most recent prizes,
were sunk near his body. He was
about 54 years old when he died.

Henry Hudson

Europe to Asia through the Pacific ocean in
both the new world and old.
 He took 2 voyages but failed to find the
route he was looking for.

Some Hardships for Henry




When Henry was set sail he came to this part of the ocean that he
didn’t know of and right underneath and around his boat were whales.
The whales almost tipped the boat over!
Hudson was the architect of his fateful tradgity that led to muting.
Obsessed by the vision of a northwest passage, he often ignored
everything around him in his quest to find it. That included his crew.
Almost every voyage indicated some form of crew uprising. Henrys
behave was unpredictable. The major obstacle was that he tried and
tried to get where he needed but he couldn’t.
Henry was into his voyage and wanted to continue but had to turn
around to go back to England because big ice burgs blocked his way.
Also Henry was very close with his dad and when he died of malignant
fever, and Henry was very upset to find out that.
Impacts on the new world and old

For the new world Henry Hudson found
new place, a new land people could go and
live. Which people live now.

For the old world it gave the people of
Europe a new place to discover explore and
find.
