Can anyone please clarify precisely how many replicas of Drake's Golden Hind are in existence and their locality? I know of the non-sailing one in Brixton and the one on the Thames in London. I remember about 40 years ago a full size replica was created for a TV series. During the eighties there was another created in the south west which sailed to America. I also remember reading of one which sank in British waters during, I think, the early nineties.
 
One in Brixham, this replaced the one which sank whilst under tow.

The one that sailed tp America was built in Bristol, not the Golden Hind, can't remember its name, should know, saw it being built!!
 
OK. Let's take it from first principles. Can anyone fill me in on the history of the replica on the Thames in London?
