Dee's influence on Drake's 1577 voyage
 
John Dee is known to have had a great influence on the maritime adventures of sixteenth century England. His research into methods of navigation, his preparation of nautical information and navigation charts for Sebastian Cabot's trading company including his contact with Geradus Mercator made him a veritable lode stone to English mariners of that time.

This publication intends to raise above the horizon into the light of a new dawn amazing and unimagined aspects of at least one such event.

What was the hidden agenda behind the Elizabethan voyage of Francis Drake to California? - Who persuaded Elizabeth to finance the voyage: - What about the question of disinformation regarding the true latitude: - Was it just a search for the mythical Strait of Anian - the Northwest Passage: - Why the destination was a secret at the time: - Why has it never been divulged since? - Was there a connection to a Celtic myth and Owen Madoc? - Was the unbelievably cold weather in Northern Californian during June/July 1579 all lies, or was some higher force at work??
The voyage started on November 15th. 1577 with five ships from Plymouth. Drake was on his flagship the Pelican (later to be called The Golden Hind) The tempest that hit southern England the following day was terrible, forcing Drake to take refuge in Falmouth Haven, in Cornwall. Simple sailors blamed the comet that blazed its trail through the night sky at that time, many men on the small fleet doubted that all the ships now setting sail would ever see Old England again - A star of ill omen indeed !!
