Excerpt from Page 151: "For many a year Sir Francis Drake's great voyage of circumnavigation in 1577-80 was looked upon as having been primarily a buccaneering expedition. It was taken for granted that he had set out with no greater purpose than to despoil the Spaniards in the grand manner. Of recent years, however, H. R. Wagner and other scholars have done a service of inestimable value both to Drake's reputation and to history by showing that the voyage was, in actual fact, a serious enterprise undertaken in the interests of trade and exploration, and possibly with a view to colonization as well.".
