The Quay, Brixham, South Devon TQ5 8AW
There is so much to see and explore above and
below its five decks, with many hands on exhibits
giving the visitor of all ages a wonderful insight
to the incredible life at sea in Tudor times.
The Golden Hind at Brixham is a full sized replica of one of the most iconic ships from the age of
exploration being a feature of this picturesque harbour since 1964 and has a long history of screen
appearances in Film, Television drama, Documentary and even childrens programs.
Sir Francis Drake : Soldier, Seaman, Politician and Engineer is best remembered as an explorer.
In his most famous ship, The Golden Hind, he became the first Englishman to circumnavigate the
globe in an epic expedition of plunder and discovery (1577-1580) .
The hardship endured in overcrowded and primitive quarters is unbelievable. Only 56 men
survived with Drake, returning 3 years later with a vast cargo of treasure ( the Queens
share alone was more than the countries national debt). ‘El Draco’ became one of the most
famous men in Western Europe and was feared and reviled by the Spanish. Drake was duly
knighted onboard. Come aboard and explore the ship that was home to Drake and his crew
of 70 for almost 3 years. Experience the sights, sounds and smells of life aboard a Tudor
ship. Feel the romance of the seas in the great age of sail.
The ship is an excellent resource for students studying the period especially KS2 Tudor
history and we also offer a comprehensive education service for school visits.
Step back in time……
See & feel the Captains and Officers cabins, how up to 60 men slept below decks, the weapons, tools, cannons,
artefacts from the age of discovery, the ropes hauled by the sailors, the creak of the timbers, the voices of the
crew, treasure, pirates and so much more……
