Material about bankside not relevant to Golden Hind

I'd previously deleted material that isn't relevant to the Golden Hind and replaced it with a reference to Bankside, where all of these links are already included. Now it's been put back. Just because a replica happens to be at Bankside doesn't seem to be a good reason for advertising the amenities of Bankside. Hence reverted edit of replaced links as linkspam.

Bankside? As far as I am aware, the replica of the Golden Hind is and always has been based in Brixham, Devon (see main article photo.) Is there more than one replica? Paul-b4 14:39, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hush my mouth! There are two! I'll update the main article to reflect this. Paul-b4 14:47, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question about Golden Hind versus Golden Hinde

Why are most references to the Golden Hind as stated here, refer to it as the Golden Hinde?

16th.century English. 'Hinde' is actually used in the narrative of Francis Pretty, who took part in Drake's voyage; both spellings can however be found.86.41.205.58 03:56, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other ships of the same name

A different 'Golden Hinde' took part in the Armada-battles, under the command of captain Thomas Fleming. It was Fleming who informed Lord Howard of Effingham of the arrival of the Armada.86.41.205.58 04:00, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speed?

The Golden Hind was a legendarily speedy creature. Were the ships bearing this name particularly fast in their day? 70.15.114.89 15:29, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ahem, unfortunately (and wrongly IMHO) someone redirected the link I used. By "Golden Hind" I refer to the famous creature called "Ceryneian Hind" on Wikipedia, which traditionally was known for the difficulty in the capture, and in modern day mythology is perhaps best known as a handy source of god-slaying poison.[1] 70.15.116.59 03:49, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dimensions

To Rule the Waves: How the British Navy Shaped the Modern World (2004) Herman, A. Harper Collins, New York ISBN 0-06-053424-9 p.77 and 78 gives the weight as 150 tons (NB that there are three different ways of measuring ship tonnage) and states (my emphasis): The Pelican may have been only sixty-eight feet in length with an eighteen foot beam or width - not much larger than a wide-load semitrailer truck - but a Portuguese pilot who saw her pronounced her 'staunch' and fit for transoceanic travel. The citation for the length is given as: J. Hampden, ed. Francis Drake, Privateer: Contemporary Narratives and Documents (London, Methuen, 1972) 111-117. --Major Bonkers (talk) 11:32, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Flag

Surely this is the wrong flag - as it's the White Ensign. The Hinde was around when it just England.Petsco (talk) 11:21, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fate?

Am I reading the article correctly? Whatever became of the original Golden Hind? All it says on the right is that it "disintigrated 400 years ago". --Ragemanchoo (talk) 09:04, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
