The Early Naval Battles of England by James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps (1841) has lots of songs about Drake. Drake is an important figure here in Northern California, because he explored much of our coast in 1577-1580 Golden Hind voyage. Sir Francis Drake Boulevard cuts the Marin County peninsula in two, from San Pablo Bay to Point Reyes National Seashore. Some of my favorite territory.
