Dear diary
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time since I wrote in my diary after travelling the world for nearly 3 years! All my friends and family have supported me, even Queen Elizabeth! I can't wait to tell them about all the things I have seen and done.
Whilst I was on my trip I am guessing my family were hoping I would return safely. My trusted ship, The Pelican, has brought me home safely despite some of the terrible weather and storms at sea that caused us to lose other ships.
I have seen many amazing things on my travels. So many different people, countries, plants and animals. My favourite memory will always be of finding a new island that I named Elizabeth Island after out wonderful Queen. My worst memories are of all the crew that I lost to disease, but I will never regret beheading the one that was leading a mutiny against me!
I have returned home a rich man, thanks to the Spanish ship we captured that was full of treasure. I hope my wife will be happy and appreciate our new wealth!

ReplyDeleteThe jorney I went on was really fun and scary what I went on today when the cat toppled into the sea and I dived write in and saved its life. I was happy when I got be captin of the ship. I got to be captin of the ship and that is a big oppertunatey for me now. When I got to be captin I just felt happy and also very emotional. I wouldn’t ever forget that moment of my life and I made a poem of it . I think if you went on a trip like me you would make a memory of it because you will probably forget that you went on a trip like that. I think that everyone got angry with me being captin. I remember my poem so I will write the first line now
When francis drake was only ten he went to sea with grown up men
And that’s all I can remember of that line really,
that's it for now.......
ReplyDeleteFrancis Drake was born in Tavistock, Devon in around 1540.
Francis Drake were in Tudor time. He meet with queen Elizabeth the first.When Francis Drake was little he did not a to school. He went to expedites. His first expedites was with John Hawkins, bringing African slaves to work in the new world. When Francis Drake were like 27 years old he became a captain of one sheep and he was very proud of him self and happy as well. He loved to be a priarot. I think it was very hard job. When you will grow up what will you what to do? When I will be a grown up person I will be a teacher and I will read to the kids about Francis Drake Ana-Maria
My diary
ReplyDeleteSeptember 26th 1580.
Once I made a ship called The Golden Hinde, we went on the sea and we saw spanish ships. I told everyone to fre canons at the spanish ships but we only had one ship and the spanish had fifteen. We fighted them but it was immpossible to win. The spanish defended there selves but I shot one ship down so the spanish had fourteen left. The spanish went on our ship and they started to kill us. One of them fell in the sea full of the sharks. Then they kill five off our people so we killed the rest of spanish people on our ship. Then we shot four more ships down from the spanish.Then we fired from all canons and started to diffit from them but there was still one ship left. The spanish jumped on our ship again and killed the rest of my people. It was only me vs 105 spanish people. I took over the spanish ship and shot a canon at them. The ship got destroyed. I went back to England and the Queen ans the people cheered loudly for me.
My (Francis Drake) Diary Entry
ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
I was the 1st English man to circumnavigate the whole wide world. I was born in Tavistock England 1540.My dad was a minister for the navy. I grew up very near the sea. I went to work on a ship at very early age (10 years).Me and my family lived in Kent. As I grew up, queen Elizabeth I told me to fight the Spanish. My first journey was with John Hawkins. Me and John Hawkins went to Africa and captured people to sell as slaves. Me and Hawkins sailed around the whole world and when we came to Spain, we sold the slaves at the Spanish port. But the Spanish people betrayed us. They attacked our ships and destroyed all of them. Only me and my ship Judith were able to escape. After I came back from my journey around the world, I still wanted to revenge the Spanish people. I started to be a privateer to attack the British's enemy ships and mostly the Spanish ships. But to the Spanish people ,I was a pirate but to the English people ,I was a superhero! I was a very rich man. Every time I returned home I would bring lots of gold for my family. I joined a crew and when I travelled across the Atlantic ocean, I captured a Spanish ship which was full of treasure. It was called the Pelican and I would later name it the Golden Hinde. I died on 27 January 1596 in Portobello, Panama.
