[MR] Wikipedia: Death of Drake

[Garth Groff via Atlantia]

Noble Friends,

On this date in 1596, Sir Francis Drake died of dysentery off the coast 
of Portobelo, Panama. At his request, Drake was dressed in his full 
armor and was buried at sea, supposedly in a lead coffin. Here is the 
Wikipedia article on Drake's life: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Drake .

Drake's later home was Buckland Abbey near Plymouth. This estate still 
exists and is managed as a museum, including items related to Sir 
Francis Drake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckland_Abbey .

Yours Aye,
