Pirate or Knight Depends Who You Ask Francis Drake 1581 ~ Heavy Blend Hoodie

Knighted on His Own Deck ~ Wanted in Spain

On 4 April 1581 Queen Elizabeth came to dinner aboard the Golden Hind at Deptford, a French envoy handled the sword on her behalf, and Francis Drake left the table as Sir Francis. Spain did not get the memo. To them he stayed El Draque, a pirate with excellent friends in London. Same man, two job titles.

• For the one who argues both sides for sport: Buy it for the debate coach, the lawyer who corrects the TV, and the friend who says it depends on your definition at every dinner.
• Perspective, national: England threw a banquet, Spain kept a file, and Drake kept sailing either way.
• Argued over in: Part of Pirate History & Legends, where hero and criminal is mostly a matter of which flag you were born under.

Cold spray off the bow, a long night watch, a captain who refuses to call it a day ~ this Gildan Heavy Blend hoodie keeps the crew warm through all of it with soft cotton-poly fleece, a double-lined hood, a roomy front pouch for snacks and treasure maps, and ribbed cuffs that hold the wind out ~ Damien's parrot approves of the hood
