EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in British history as Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) goes aboard the renowned explorer Sir Francis Drake's (1540-1596) ship, the Golden Hind, moored at Deptford in 1581. The Queen, dressed in her regal finery, is greeted by Drake as he offers her a hand to step aboard. The Golden Hind, which had recently returned from a successful circumnavigation of the globe, was an icon of English maritime prowess and a symbol of the growing power and influence of Elizabethan England. The Queen's visit to the ship was a significant event, as she bestowed upon Drake the knighthood he had earned through his daring voyages and victories against Spanish forces. The ceremony took place on board the Golden Hind, which was then decorated with colorful banners and pennants to mark the occasion. The image of the Queen boarding the ship was a powerful statement of her support for her seafarers and her determination to defend England against foreign threats. This photograph, taken from a print by the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of the Elizabethan era, as well as the close relationship between the monarch and her naval heroes. The Golden Hind, with its distinctive figurehead and intricately carved decorations, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and skill of English shipbuilders and sailors, and to the enduring legacy of Sir Francis Drake as a national hero.
