The Golden HindeOn the Southbank of the River Thames, stands the replica of Sir Francis Drakes ship The Golden Hinde.
Tucked in amongst trendy cafes, by the side of the Old Clink Prison ... is this exact copy, built in 1973, is an accomplished sea worthy vessel and has itself circumnavigated the world and over 140,000 sea miles. You can go on this ship for just a couple of pounds sterling, and see the in-side as well as the out-side of this Elizabethan vessel that first bought tobacco and potatoes to England.
