On this day in 1588 — The English fleet met the mighty Spanish Armada.
To mark the anniversary, step aboard the Golden Hind and relive the clash through my eyes as an Elizabethan sailor who sailed with Sir Francis Drake himself. Salt spray, cannon fire, and courage in the face of a vast invasion fleet... Watch the story unfold in a video we made more than 20 years ago for the examination board OCR, long before we started on YouTube.
