Drake's Long Voyage
As you're strolling along the riverside, you come upon the old dock of St. Mary Overie, SE1. Here to your delight is an exact replica of the Golden Hinde, in which Sir Francis Drake circumnavigated the globe. It's amazingly tiny for such a daunting voyage. But this actual ship has sailed around the world some two dozen times, exploring both oceans and the American coast. Visits are daily from 10am to 6pm; entry costs £6 ($12) for adults, £4.50 ($9) for children, and £12 ($24) for a family ticket. For information, call tel. 0870/011-8700 or go to www.goldenhinde.org.
