Ferdinand Magellan
Ferdinand Magellan, or Fernão de Magalhães (c. 1480-1521), was a Portuguese mariner whose expedition was the first to circumnavigate the globe in 1519-22 in the service of Spain. Magellan was killed on the voyage in what is today the Philippines, and only 22 of the original 270 crew members made it back to Europe.

Magellan-Elcano Expedition Circumnavigates Globe!
It's September 6th. 🇪🇸 On this day in 1522, one of Ferdinand Magellan’s ships, the Victoria, pulled into port at Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Spain, thus completing the first circumnavigation of the globe. The Victoria was commanded by Basque navigator Juan Sebastian de Elcano, who took charge of the vessel when Magellan died in the Philippines in April 1521. It was a long, hard journey. Of the five ships and 270 men who set sail from Spain on September 20th, 1519 to find a western sea route to the Spice Islands (Indonesia), only Elcano's ship and 21 other men survived the ordeal. Though the expedition was successful in finding a western route to the Spice Islands, it was much longer and more arduous than expected and not commercially viable. Nevertheless, this first circumnavigation has been regarded as a great achievement in seamanship, and had a significant impact on our understanding of our planet. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Ferdinand Magellan, or Fernão de Magalhães (c. 1480-1521), was a Portuguese mariner whose expedition was the first to circumnavigate the globe in 1519-22 in the service of Spain. Magellan was killed on the voyage in what is today the Philippines, and only 22 of the original 270 crew members made it back to Europe. Discovering what became known as the Straits of Magellan in southern Patagonia and a passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, the voyage achieved its goal of showing that a route to Asia could be found by sailing west from Europe. The voyage was full of achievements, notable firsts, and a lifetime’s worth of new sights and experiences. There were also tremendous hardships and a major mutiny. The only ship of the original fleet of five to complete the voyage around the world was the Victoria, commanded by Juan Sebastian Elcano and packed full of precious spices. The round trip had taken three years and covered 60,000 miles. Not for nothing has this first circumnavigation been described as the greatest voyage of exploration ever undertaken.

November 28
An expedition led by Ferdinand Magellan passed through the Strait of Magellan, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, on this day in 1520. Magellan named everything he discovered after himself. Every night he named his dinner the Plate of Magellan.
New Worlds 6th September 1522, the ‘Vitoria’, the last surviving ship of the Spanish circumnavigation, returns to Spain, without its Captain Ferdinand Magellan, who had been killed at the Battle of Mactan the previous year. Travelling eastward to the Malay Archipelago in SouthEast Asia between 1505 to 1512, Magellan later returned to the area westward on behalf of King Charles I of Spain in 1519, to find a westward route to the Spice Islands. Commanding a fleet of five ships, Magellan travelled south through the Atlantic Ocean to Patagonia, finding a straight later named after him that led to the other side of South America into the Paciffic Ocean; Magellan named this the ‘peaceful sea’. Magellan’s reputation and achievement as a navigator was discredited in both Spain, and his native Portugal upon the return of the last ship. This was revived upon successive attempts and failures to complete the same circumnavigation. This was not achieved until 58 years later by Sir Francis Drake 6th September 1620, The ‘Mayflower’ departs Plymouth, England with 102 Pilgrims bound for the New World, on the same day eight years later, the ‘Abigail’, sailing from Weymouth England lands at Salem. The area around Salem had been settled two years previously by fisherman led by Roger Conant, whose leadership now was taken over by the Massachusetts Bay Companies John Endecott. In recognition of this peaceful transition, the settlement was named Salem, the hellenized Hebrew word for "peace". #ferdinandmagellan #ageofdiscovery #circumnavigation #16thcentury #17thcentury #themayflower #mayflower #puritans #puritan #newengland #salemmassachusetts #salem #massachusettes #massachusettshistory #plymouth #history #historical #historic #historylovers #historygeek #onthisday #onthisdayinhistory #otd https://www.instagram.com/p/CEwU8B4gthI/?igshid=20vrjmqn0cyd
