The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake

More about the book

The book delves into Sir Francis Drake's 1580 voyage, shrouded in mystery due to impounded journals and strict silence imposed on his crew. Samuel Bawlf, a geographer and maritime historian, utilizes newly discovered evidence to reconstruct this historic expedition, shedding light on sixteenth-century maritime life. Notably, Bawlf asserts that Drake reached Alaska in 1579, challenging previous notions of his journey and significantly altering the narrative of North American exploration.
