Golden Hinde

Story

The Golden Hinde is a mountain located in the Vancouver Island Ranges on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. At 2195m, it is the highest peak on the island. The mountain is located near the geographic centre of Vancouver Island, as well as near the centre of 2450km2 Strathcona Provincial Park, at the head of the Wolf River and to the west of Buttle Lake, about 25km east of the community of Gold River. The peak is popular with experienced backcountry-climbers, having been first ascended in 1913. The mountain is made of basalt which is part of the Karmutsen Formation.The mountain took its name from Sir Francis Drake's ship, the Golden Hind, by an early fur-trading captain, who was reminded of Drake's ship as sunset hit the mountain (which is visible from the west coast of the Island) and in honour of Drake's reputed presence off the coast of the future British Columbia during the explorer's circumnavigation of the globe from 1577–80 (see New Albion). The present name was not officially conferred until 1938, but this was done after a reference to the peak in a fur-trader's log. The alternative name "The Rooster's Comb" was used by early alpinists because of the mountain's appearance.

great fun and only a fiver, climb aboard and get an authentic feel for how things were back in the day, hope you didnt mind the ahoy there as i walked up the gangway
Always a nice sight when on a stroll through South Bank
The Golden Hind is an example of real history coming to life right in the heart of London. This old England ship experience is a must for all tourist
I've walked past this ship many times over the years and regret not having gone in sooner. Much to learn and the guides are very well informed, so do pick their brains. I can't imagine spending three years on board such a cramped vessel. Go see for yourself.
