A Voyage to Remember Sir John Hawkins had already made several journeys to the Caribbean selling slaves when he was joined in 1567 by Francis Drake, still a teenager, who made the journey as captain of his own ship, Judith. Their voyage ended in disaster when Hawkins and Drake, with a fleet of five ships, took refuge from a storm in the Spanish port of San Juan de Ulua, now called Vera Cruz. There, they were treachorously attacked by a superior Spanish fleet under the command of the new viceroy and Captain General of New Spain, Don Martin Enriquez. Hawkins flagship, Jesus of Lubeck, and two other English ships were destroyed. Only the Minion and Drake s little bark returned to England. Thus began Drake s life-long personal war with Spain.
