Trace the Route of Francis Drake on a Map

One thing worth mentioning is that Drake might not have gone to the Palau, but the Yap Islands of Micronesia instead. The places are ethnologically similar and geographically close enough that it's feasible that Drake went to either based on his descriptions. I chose Palau because the evidence seems to favor it slightly, but there's also a lot of evidence that suggests Micronesia.

There are other places that are up for debate: some say he went further north than California, up to Oregon, and some say he visited Cape Horn, several hundred kilometers south of Tierra del Fuego. There isn't strong evidence in favor of either though. The only place where scholars seem to seriously disagree are Palau vs. Micronesia.
