Who was the first captain to sail around the world? a. francis drake b. sir walter raleigh c. edmund spenser d. william shakespeare

The correct answer is A.

In 1577, Elizabeth I sent Francis Drake to begin an expedition against the Spaniards along the Pacific coast of the Americas. Drake left Plymouth, England in November 1577, aboard the Pelican, which Drake renamed Golden Hind in the middle of the trip. In September of 1578, it passed through the southern tip of South America, called Drake Passage, which connects the southwestern part of the Atlantic Ocean with the southeastern part of the Pacific Ocean. In June 1579, Drake landed somewhere north of Spain's northernmost claim in Alta California, which is known as Drakes Bay, California. Drake completed the second circumnavigation of the world in September 1580, becoming the first commander to lead a complete circumnavigation.
