GOOD EYE! and I had caught that myself as it appears to be a 'quartering starboard tack-almost straight downwind- but with the wind still coming from the astern starboard quarter. So I looked at a lot of pictures of the 'hind' on the stern of the Golden Hind and it is in both directions; ergo I believe the negative was reversed so I went with the article's own caption quote.  vs as opposed to the present version on the berthed vessel's stern in London?
