Sir Francis Drake, Vice Admiral, (c. 1540 January 28, 1596) was an English privateer, navigator, naval pioneer and raider, politician and civil engineer of the Elizabethan era.
He was the first captain to circumnavigate the globe (Magellan did not survive his voyage, which was completed by Juan Sebastin Elcano). He was second-in-command of the English fleet against the Spanish Armada in 1588. He died of dysentery while unsuccessfully attacking San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1596.
