Description

Take a step back in time and embark on this replica of Sir Francis Drake's 16th-century warship, the Golden Hinde. Not only was it the first vessel to circumnavigate the globe from 1577–1580, but it was also manned by a small and courageous crew. Kids will enjoy adventuring through the decks and cabins and adults will have to be mindful of their heads (the vessel was designed for those with an average height of 1.6m). It's astounding to think that the ship was able to accommodate up to 60 crew members in its modest quarters!
