Francis Drake's discovery was when he circumnavigated- sail or go all the way around the world, around the whole world. He left Plymouth on the Golden Hind and did these things in order:

  1. found land in the Philippines
  2. made a treaty with the Sultan in the East Indies
  3. him, his crew, and his ship struck a reef but slipped off the next day and was on their way again
  4. sailed to Java
  5. crossed the Indian ocean
  6. went around the Cape of Good Hope
  7. and went back to Plymouth.

Also, he took back lots of gold, silver, pearls, and precious stones with him to Plymouth.
