The English explorer Sir '''Francis Drake''' was the second to sail around the world (after [[Magellan]]). During one of his trips to the New World he discovered the potato, although some claim that Sir [[Walter Raleigh]] beat him to it.
Francis Drake's ship was the English galleon ''Pelican'', which was later renamed the ''Golden Hinde''.
