Golden Hinde Living History Museum
The Golden Hinde is a full scale reconstruction of the notorious 16th Century warship in which Sir Francis Drake circumnavigated the world between 1577 and 1580.
Now berthed in St. Mary Overie Dock, near Southwark cathedral, the Golden Hinde is a living history museum offering the opportunity to see what life as a 16th Century sailor would have really been like.
Take a journey back in time with a self-guided tour or take advantage of one of the overnight living history events. For schools we offer guided tours with an actor dressed in period clothing ready to transform the ship into a working 16th Century warship. During the holidays we offer workshops.
