Admiral Sir John Hawkins (also spelled as Hawkyns) (Plymouth 1532 – 12 November 1595) was an English shipbuilder, naval administrator and commander, merchant, navigator, and slave trader. As treasurer (1577) and controller (1589) of the Royal Navy, he rebuilt older ships and helped design the faster ships that withstood the Spanish Armada in 1588. He later devised the naval blockade to intercept Spanish treasure ships. One of the foremost seamen of 16th-century England, he was the chief architect of the Elizabethan navy. In the battle in which the Spanish Armada was defeated in 1588, Hawkins served as a vice admiral. He was knighted for gallantry.
William, John's father, was a confidant of Henry VIII of England and one of England's principal sea captains, having sailed to the New World ca. 1527. Sir Francis Drake, John's second cousin, helped him in his second voyage.
The first Englishman recorded to have taken slaves from Africa was John Lok, a London trader who, in 1555, brought five slaves from Guinea. A second London trader taking slaves at that time was William Towerson whose fleet sailed into Plymouth following his 1556 voyage to Africa and from Plymouth on his 1557 voyage. Despite the exploits of Lok and Towerson, John Hawkins of Plymouth is often considered to be the pioneer of the British slave trade, because he was the first to run the Triangular trade, making a profit at every stop.

You say it must be a miracle
Your heart even beats at all
After all that you've been through
You fell for too many promises, every line
And it was you that always took the fall
I know you're hurtin but don't be sad
I'm here to tell you that you've just had
A string of bad love
But don't give up
One good heart could change your luck
You've been tangled up and tied down long enough
Baby let me break the string of bad love
I've done some time on that trail of tears
And I swore I'd never love again so I know what you're going through
I fell in love with a heartbreaker every time
The road took another bend
I got over it, so will you
Have a little hope, you've just been through
A string of bad love
So don't give up
One good heart could change your luck
You've been tangled up and tied down long enough
Baby let me break the string of bad love
If you want to give it another go
Together we could take a shot
At making a love that won't unwind
Maybe we could tie a know, in that
A string of bad love
But don't give up
One good heart could change your luck
You've been tangled up and tied down long enough
Baby let me break the string of bad love
One good heart could change your luck
You've been tangled up and tied down long enough
Baby let me break the string of bad love
