Itinerary: Atlantic - Strait of Magellan - Peruvian coast - California-Moluccas - Java - Cape of Good Hope - Plymouth. It was originally known as the Pelican and was renamed in mid-voyage by Drake as he prepared to enter the Straits of Magellan. He rechristened the ship the Golden Hind in a political gesture, to compliment his patron, Sir Christopher Hatton, whose armorial crest was a golden hind. The kit is complete, it does not need additional materials to complete the work.
