Summary American museum owner says long lost ships belonging to fleet of Sir Francis Drake have been found.
The owner of an American pirate museum, Pat Croce, says he has discovered two ships which he believes belonged to the fleet of legendary sailor and navigator, Sir Francis Drake, off the coast of Panama.According to Croce and his international team of explorers, the two 16th century ships were discovered after languishing at the bottom of the sea for four centuries.Now they hope to find the body of Drake himself who was buried at sea in a suit of armour and lead coffin.The vessels - named the Elizabeth and Delight - were apparently scuttled and sunk by their crews after Drake died.In a press release from Croces St. Augustine Pirate and Treasure Museum in Florida, Croce said the apparent discovery was a dream come true.
