The engraving, dating back to the 16th century and created by an unknown artist, beautifully captures this intense encounter off the coast of Ecuador. The image transports us back to a time when corsairs ruled the seas and daring expeditions were undertaken. Sir Francis Drake, a legendary figure in naval exploration, successfully outmaneuvers his Spanish adversaries with strategic precision. The Golden Hind stands tall and formidable against the backdrop of turbulent waters. The scene is filled with tension and excitement as cannons roar and billowing smoke engulfs both ships.
