Sir John Hawkins was a naval commander and privateer during the Elizabethan era in the 16th century, who explored swathes of the New World amid danger and treachery.

Born to William Hawkins, master of The Great Galley of Henry VIII's navy, from youth John aspired to a mariner's career. His father's reputation as sailor and merchant aided John's rise, especially when it was clear the younger Hawkins had inherited the vital talents of seamanship and business. John's first commission from Queen Elizabeth in 1562 was a turning point; returning home with enormous gains, which he built upon in further expeditions, his future in England's navy was set.
