Book Description
History holds few lives as filled with romance, adventure and derring-do as that of Cavendish, captain for good Queen Bess.
When Captain Cavendish's flagship "Desire" rode into Plymouth harbour, two years after she had left it, her sailors were clothed in silk, her sails were damask, and her top mast was covered with cloth of gold.
On the voyage which ended so spectacularly, Cavendish and his men had truely seen the world and almost everything had happened to them. But Tom Cavendish remembered best the California coast and what had happen there.
It was sfter they had left the shores of Mexico and were off Cape St. Lucas, on the southern tip of California that he had captured the great Spanish galleon, the famous Santa Anna, and it was on that ship that he met Catherine de Montoro. And the conquest of Catherine was to him a more exciting and more important matter than the victory over the Spanish.
