GOLDEN HINDE, BRIGHTON MARINA

The Golden Hind was named after Sir Christopher Hatton's coat of arms - a hind being an heraldic doe. At launch the ship was known as the Pelican but Sir Francis Drake, the ship's captain, rechristened it whilst about to enter the Straits of Magellan, (the fabled natural passageway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and subsequently acceeded to by the Panama Canal), as a mark of respect to the journey's patron. This is a shot of the replica which was launched in 1973. Drake circumnavigated the globe between 1577 - 80 whilst the replica has travelled some 140,000 miles and has also circumnavigated the world. Hatton's name is better remembered for his association with diamonds - Hatton Gardens is named after him.
The new Golden Hind is permanently berthed in southwark.
