The first Anglican liturgy offered in North America was offered by the Rev. Francis Fletcher, chaplain of Sir Francis Drake's ship the Golden Hinde. The ship pulled ashore for repairs in Northern California, most likely in what is now Drake's Bay on Point Reyes, on June 17, 1579. Fr. Fletcher is likely to have offered the daily offices, and on the Feast of St. John the Baptist, June 24, his diary records that he offered Holy Communion, at which a group of curious natives observed. The Golden Hinde left Drake's Bay on July 23.
