Golden Hind

Golden Hind

Golden Hind was a galleon captained by Francis Drake in his circumnavigation of the world between 1577 and 1580. She was originally known as Pelican, but Drake renamed her mid-voyage in 1578, in honour of his patron, Sir Christopher Hatton, whose crest was a golden hind. Hatton was one of the principal sponsors of Drake's world voyage. A full-sized, seaworthy reconstruction is in London, on the south bank of the Thames.

Golden Hind (passenger train)

The Golden Hind is a named passenger train operating between London Paddington and Penzance in the United Kingdom. The Golden Hind was first introduced in the summer of 1964; the launch broke the then record for the time of a Plymouth to London journey. The train encouraged one commuter to buy the first ever First Class annual season from Taunton to London Paddington.
