Description
Elizabeth's Sea Dogs: A Riveting Account of England's Most Infamous Mariners The story of Elizabeth's Sea Dogs is one of adventure, controversy and bravery. These men, including Francis Drake, John Hawkins, Martin Frobisher and Walter Raleigh, were seen as heroes by the English but as pirates by their Spanish enemies. Expert seafarers in extremely hard times, they sailed, fought, looted and whored their way across the globe. Through diligent historical research incorporating contemporary testimony, author Hugh Bicheno sets the Sea Dogs in historical context, revealing their lives and exploits in vivid detail. This book tells their extraordinary story as it was lived, with additional appendices, colour plates, maps and technical drawings that bring their world to life. With a focus on the men behind the myths, Elizabeth's Sea Dogs offers a fresh perspective on a fascinating period of history.
