Description
Although his cousin Sir Francis Drake is more famous, Sir John Hawkins (1532?1595) was a more successful seaman and played a pivotal role in the history of England and the emergence of the global slave trade. Discouraged from his career as a pirate by a near-fatal encounter with angry Spanish troops, Hawkins spent much of his later life in England at the service of the queen.
