"Drake's great prize was the capture of the Cacafuego with her treasure of Peruvian silver, gold, and jewels. Heavily laden with booty, Drake sailed on as far as modern-day Vancouver (becoming the first European to see the west coast of Canada) before anchoring in northern California." [Furtado: 1001 Days]
