We pay our respects today, following the news from former crew: of the passing of Golden Hinde Crewmember; William 'Willie' Pandy. Hailing from Roatán, William was vital during our tours of the USA: in particular as the Bosun for our accompanying vessel, 'The Sea Surveyor'. A fantastic sailor, a great friend and a thoroughly good man.

#OnThisDay 1579, Francis, Duke of Anjou visited England to court Queen Elizabeth (the only one of Elizabeth's foreign suitors to court her in person). Elizabeth affectionately called him her "frog”! Diplomat Monsieur de Marchaumont was assigned to negotiate the match-up, so Elizabeth actually had HIM knight Francis Drake in 1581 (contrary to the popular depiction of her doing the dubbing)!

This week's #FolkloreThursday theme is folklore of fairies, the fae and little people! Selkies in Celtic and Norse mythology are seals that come ashore and take on human form by shedding their skin. Many incredible, sometimes tragic legends are told of Selkies falling in love with humans: rescuing, marrying and even raising families with them....

#OnThisDay in 1675, King Charles II and John Flamsteed lay the foundation stone of the Royal Observatory Greenwich, to "find out the so much desired longitude of places for the perfecting of the art of navigation."

"I myself will take up arms –I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field". #OnThisDay 1588, #QueenElizabeth gave her famous Tilbury speech to 4,000 soldiers: assembled to fight should the #SpanishArmada sail up-river toward London.

#FolkloreThursday: deep in the jungles of South America lies the fabled city of gold: El Dorado! #FrancisDrake's relative (& legendary Tudor/Jacobean explorer in his own right) Walter Raleigh was released from the Tower of London to seek it. Unfortunately he succeeded only in stirring up hostility with the Spanish forces - and unlike Drake, it cost him his head!

HELLBURNERS! #OnThisDay at 00:00, #FrancisDrake's forces sent FIRESHIPS adrift amongst the #SpanishArmada forces, closely anchored off Calais. The principal warships held their positions, but the rest of the fleet cut their anchor cables and scattered... No Spanish ships were burnt, but their crescent formation had been broken. The English closed in for battle...

"As it were in the bosome of the burning zone, we felt the effects of sultring heat..."
- The World Encompassed
The Golden Hinde encountered soaring temperatures on its circumnavigation, as the ship approached the equator: the historic 'burning zone' or 'torrid zone'. During this #ukheatwave make sure you do what Elizabethan sailors did - stock up on fresh water whenever possible!
