For three decades, Drake prowled the seas from the Mediterranean Sea to the Pacific Ocean. He raided the African coast for men, women and children and sold them into slavery. He attacked Spanish crews and filled his ships with their loot. In the 16th Century, Spanish sailors feared one sight more than any other: the masts of Francis Drake's pirate ships on the horizon.
