Sir Francis Drake was the second person to sail around the world, completing his voyage from 1577 to 1580. He followed Ferdinand Magellan, who was the first to circumnavigate the globe, though Magellan did not survive the entire journey. Drake's expedition significantly contributed to English maritime exploration and helped establish England as a formidable naval power.
