Fun exhibit. One of only 2 life size replicas of Francis Drake's golden hind which he circumnavigated the world in.

The replica and the given information is a good place to visit. As our kids wabt to do so every year it would be great if the kids activity would change - they know beforehand where to look for the stamps - but they still enjoy it :)
