Meeting Drake across a language gap

What if Francis Drake and Golden Hind, with their gold and silver, appeared today?

The brief response focuses on meeting him and working through differences in English rather than on the treasure's wider consequences.

The scenario brings Drake, Golden Hind, and his gold and silver into the present. Differences between Elizabethan and modern English are expected to complicate an initial conversation. The imagined meeting takes place off Cornwall, with little discussion of the treasure's financial or political consequences.
