It means "The Drake (Dragon)" in Spanish.

From Wikipedia

"Sir Francis Drake, Vice Admiral (1540– 27 January 1596) was an English sea captain, privateer, navigator, slaver, and politician of the Elizabethan era. Elizabeth I of England awarded Drake a knighthood in 1581. He was second-in-command of the English fleet against the Spanish Armada in 1588. He also carried out the second circumnavigation of the world, from 1577 to 1580

His exploits were legendary, making him a hero to the English but a pirate to the Spaniards to whom he was known as El Draque. King Philip II was said to have offered a reward of 20,000ducats, about £4million (US$6.5M) by modern standards, for his life."
