During his travels around the world, Sir Francis Drake attacked settlements on the west coast of South America.
In February 1579, Drake reached Callao and attacked twelve Spanish ships, capturing large quantities of coins.
He then heard that the Cacafuego, a Spanish treasure ship, was at sea. Drake's ships pursued it and captured its cargo, worth £140,000 (£210 million).
