Francis Drake's Great Things Have Small Beginnings

Francis Drake has been part of history for the longest. He was born in Tavistock, United Kingdom around the 1540’s. Drake was an English sea captain, privateer, navigator, slaver, and politician of the Elizabethan era. Drake then died in January 27, 1596 in Portobelo, Colon, Portobelo District, Panama. Nevertheless, when Drake was alive, he accomplished a lot. One of his first accomplishments was that he wrote a book, After that he sailed with Captain Lovell to the Caribbean o a slave trading enterprise and then later on he sailed to the West Indies. Some of his favorite quotes were, “great things have small beginnings.” and “It isn't that life ashore is distasteful to me. But life at sea is better.”
To begin with, Drake first accomplishment was him writing a book. It was published in 1533 and

the book's title was, “A Treatyse of the Newe India.” This book became very famous because it explained the new geographical knowledge. Not only did it explained the geographical knowledge but it also has a lot of detail on towards how the people were treated as slaves.
One of Drake’s favorite quotes was, “great things have small beginnings.” By this quote Drake is saying that with it doesn’t matter is we stard off rough.

As we go on we are going to be getting better and at the end of the day we are going to have what we wanted. This goes with the fact that he was always traveling everywhere because he wanted to because a great person but at the beginning of all that he was struggling because he didn’t really have what he needed to travel and didn’t know a lot of people. Even Though, he didn’t really know anybody he still managed to continue and get through what he wanted to get done. Around here is where he planned his whole hoax. Wh he managed how he was traveling and stuff he planned this whole hoax where he was going to be using a plate made out of cement and a lot of paper. His plan was that he was going to hide it and then make up a story about it. His story was that the one who found it was going to have good luck for a very long time. So when the person found it he went around telling everyone about the hoax and then some people started to investigate about it and found out it was Francis Drake’s

hoax.
Something that Drake was really never in one stable place. He was always traveling. Either to islands, oceans or just doing stuff. Another one of his famous quotes was, “It isn't that life ashore is distasteful to me. But life at sea is better.” The fact that he was never home, he found it more better living in the ocean than to be living around people. A lot of people say that one of his biggest goals was to travel around the world with his little family but that never happened because he was always scared that something was going to happen to him and his family. Around the 1970’s Drake joined forces with Guillaume Le Testu on a mule train and made off with L 20,000 in gold and silver. This was a big deal for him because he had never seen that much silver and gold in his life.
In conclusion, most of the history we the people know about don’t really explore it as much as we should. There is a lot of great things we could be learning but we just don’t decide to. In the world of hoaxes I learned that there was some people back then that were very smart and thought about 100 years in front of them. This is very phenomenon because I never knew about this whole hoax thing.
