Sir Francis Drake first saw the Pacific Ocean while crossing the Isthmus of Panama in 1572. During this expedition, he stood on a high ridge of land and caught his first glimpse of the ocean, which at that time was largely restricted to Spanish vessels. Upon seeing it, he prayed for the opportunity to sail those waters in an English ship, a goal he later achieved during his circumnavigation of the globe.12
