  • THE SPANISH ARMADA
  • An armada! I must give the signal
  • I'm Drake, an English pirate put in charge of defence against the Spanish
  • Just off the coast of Cornwall
  • I have a great idea!
  • Calais
  • In the Summer of 1588, the Spanish Armada, a fleet of 130 ships led by King Philip, set off from Corruna to invade England. And this is how the story of the Spanish Armada began.
  • The North Sea
  • Soon, just off the coast of Cornwall, the Spanish Armada was spotted by the English and beacons were lit all up the coast to report the sighting. Elizabeth I then gave Drake, a pirate, the responsibility to prepare and defend for the invasion
  • The shores of Scotland and Ireland
  • The Spanish seemed to be unbeatable. Their arch formation was holding well and the English couldn't sink even one ship. But then, Drake had a great idea - and sent what the Spanish feared most - fireships!
  • Out of the 130 ships that sail, only 67 returned to Spain
  • The Spanish were terrified. They broke formation and cut their anchors so they could flee from the fireships then scattered around the North Sea in twos and threes so the English could easily pursue them.
  • By this time, many of the Spanish ships were damaged or sunk. The surviving men were weak and injured and those who tried to climb ashore from their sinking ship were attacked by the Scottish and Irish
  • The Spanish fleet - meant to be unbeatable, returned to Spain with less than half their ships, weak, injured, diminished and defeated. The Spanish Armada was not a success - but for the English - it was a victory.
