The Golden Hind was a ship best known for its global circumnavigation between 1577 and 1580,captained by Sir Francis Drake. It was originally known as the Pelican and was renamed in mid-voyage 1577 by Drake as he prepared to enter the Straits of Magellan. He rechristened the ship the Golden Hind in a political gesture, to compliment his patron, Sir Christopher Hatton, whose armorial crest was a golden hind .Details Masts: 3 Hull: wooden Hull dimensions (estimated): Length: 70 ft (21,3 m) Breadth: 19 ft (5,8 m) Depth: 9 ft (2,7 m) Crew compliment: 80-85 Armaments: 12 guns Load: ca. 150 tons (136 tonnes) This package contains high detailed model in obj,3ds,lwo format (258000 quads ,20000 triangles,306000 points) and over 58 hand-painted texture maps.
