Looking for the Golden Hind's Landfall

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Pacific Maritime History: Ships and Shipwrecks" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

In 1579 Francis Drake and his crew likely careened the Golden Hind in a “fair and good bay” somewhere on the Northwest Coast, rather than the often-cited California shore. This paper will explore and discuss some of the ethnographic evidence, the strong manuscript evidence, and a few artifacts found in the region that may have been from Drake’s 1579 summer sojourn on the coast.
