The map is often referred to as the "Drake map."In 1585, Sir Francis Drake led a flotilla of ships to the West Indies to harass Spanish settlements. The English fleet captured Santo Domingo on Hispaniola, Cartagena, Colombia, and St. Augustine, Florida. On the return voyage, they picked up passengers from the Roanoke colony.
