SUMMARY:  After scouting the West Coast of North America in 1579, Francis Drake desperately needed to find a sheltered bay to repair the Golden Hind before he started across the Pacific Ocean back to England.  Though the fact of his landfall on the West Coast – often cited as Nova Albion – is well established, the exact location of his landing is not so clearly documented.  Listen for a review of current research and conflicting opinions, and a description of artifacts that may – or may not – point to Nova Albion. TIME AND PLACE:  June-July 1579, West Coast of North America SOURCES:  See website (below). CONTACT:  Visit kevinsoccasionalpods.com, or email [email protected].
