Welcome to Francis Drake 2.5. Doughty is dead, the ship has finally been named the Golden Hinde, and now Francis and after a quick trip to the captain's quarters, is ready to get up to no good.

Follow us through another Hurricane, that will see Francis Drake officially declared dead by the survivors, before he goes on to claim Britain's first overseas territory (never seen by anyone ever again) in the South Pacific, and found the first ever colony in the British Empire (never returned to) in sunny San Francisco.

As we follow Drake on his journey your faithful tour guides Gruff and Chris will draw your attention to everything around you. From the wars of resistance being fought by the Mapuche of Southern Chile, to relative quality of Spanish ship names, all while we tell you how the British Empire was born.
