1. MAGELLAN BEGINS VOYAGE SANLUCAR
DE BARRAMEDA, SPAIN (September 20, 1519)
 On September 20, 1591. Magellan set sail from Spain in an
effort to find a western sea route to the rich spice islands of
Indonesia. In command of five ships and 270 men, Magellan sailed
to West Africa and ten to Brazil. Where he searched the South
American Coast for a strait that would take him to the
Pacific. He searched the Río De La Plata, a large estuary
South along the coast of Patagonia.
At the end of March 15, 1520. The expedition set up winter
quarters at port St. Julian. On Easter day at midnight, the
Spanish Captains mutinied against their Portuguese Captain,
but Magellan crushed the revolt. Executing on of the
Captains and leaving another ashore when his ship left St.
Julian in August. On October 21, he finally discovered the

 The feet, carrying about 270 men. Predominantly from
Spain and Portugal but also from far-flung parts of Europe and
North Africa, reached Tenerife in the Canary Island on September
26, 1519, and set sail on October 3 for Brazil. Becalmed off the
guinea coast of Africa, it met storms before reaching the
equator; by November 29, having crossed the Atlantic
successfully. It was 27 leagues southwest of cape St.
Augustine (Carbo de Santo Agostinho Brazil). Rounding cape
Frio, Magellaan entered the bay of Rio De Janeiro on December
13, he then sailed south to the Rio De La Plata and vainly
probed the estuary, seeking the strait. On March 31,1520, he
reached port Saint Julian (San Julián, Argentina). Where on
Easter day midnight Spanish captains led a serious munity
6 against the Portuguese commander.
 With resolution , ruthlessness, and daring, Magellan
Quilled it: he executed one of the mutinous captains and left
another to his fate ashore when, on August 24, 1520. The fleet
left Saint Julian, after reaching the mouth of the Santa Cruz
river. Near which the Santiago, surveying the area had been
wrecked earlier. Magellan started south again.
On October 21, 1520. He rounded the cape of the virgins (cabo
Virgenes, Argentina) and the approximately 52˚50ꜞ S entered the
passage that proved to be the strait of his seeking, later to
far his name. The San Antonio having deserted, only three of
his ships reached the western end of the passage. At the news
that the ocean had been sighted. The iron-willed admiral
reportedly

FIRST EUROPEAN WHO REACH PACIFIC OCEAN
(NOVEMBER 28,1520)

 After sailing through the dangerous straits below South
America that now bear his name, Portuguese navigator
Ferdinand Magellan enters the Pacific Ocean with three ships,
becoming the first European explorer to reach the Pacific
from the Atlantic. On 20 September 1519, Magellan set sail
from Spain in an effort to find a western sea route to the rich
Spice Islands of Indonesia. In command of five ships and 270 men,
Magellan sailed to West Africa and then to Brazil, where he
searched the South American coast for a strait that would
take him to the Pacific. He searched the Rio de la Plata, a
large estuary south of Brazil, for a way through; failing, he
continued south along the coast of Patagonia.

 At the end of March 1520, the expedition set up winter quarters at
Port St. Julian. On Easter day at midnight, the Spanish captains mutinied
against their Portuguese captain, but Magellan crushed the revolt,
executing one of the captains and leaving another ashore when his ship
left St. Julian in August. On 21 October, he finally discovered the strait
he had been seeking. The Straits of Magellan, as it became known, is
located near the tip of South America, separating Tierra del Fuego and
the continental mainland. Only three ships entered the passage; one had
been wrecked and another deserted. It took 38 days to navigate the
treacherous strait, and when clear ocean was sighted at the other end
Magellan wept with joy. His fleet accomplished the westward crossing of
the ocean in 99 days, crossing waters so strangely calm that the ocean
was named "Pacific," from the Latin word pacificus, meaning "tranquil."By
the end, the men were out of food and chewed the leather parts of their
gear to keep themselves alive. On 6 March 1521, the expedition landed at
10the island of Guam. Where they re-supplied and set sail again.

100DAYS AT SEA (MARCH 16, 1521)

11
 Magellan's fleet spent nearly 100 days on the open Pacific, far longer
than he had expected. The expedition landed on one of the Mariana
Islands, probably Guam, and reached the Philippines soon afterward.
Magellan became involved in a war between two local groups and was
killed in a battle on the island of Mactan in April 1521. Around the same
time, one of his three ships was burned. The ship's survivors reached the
Spice Islands, loaded the remaining two ships with cloves, and set off for
Spain. One of the ships, the Trinidad, started to return the way it had
come but was captured by the Portuguese. The other, the Victoria, bore
westward, through the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic, and reached Spain
in 1522 with 17 Europeans and three East Indians aboard. It was the first
vessel to sail around the world. Although historians do not know
whether Magellan planned to complete his voyage this way or to return
from the Spice Islands by way of the Pacific and South America, he is
credited with having captained the first voyage across the immense,
unknown Pacific.

KILLED LAPU-LAPU (APRIL 27, 1520)

 “The crew began to starve as food stores were depleted,” describes the
Mariners’ Museum. “The water turned putrid and yellow in color. The
crew survived on sawdust, leather strips from the sails, and rats. Without
the benefit of vitamin C in fresh fruits and vegetables, the men also came
down with sun late March, Magellan landed on Mactan Island in the
Philippines. Praising divine intervention for his success, Magellan decided to
convert the local population to Christianity. After having luck with one
chief, Magellan turned his attention to his first convert’s rival, Lapu
Lapu. But Magellan mistakenly believed the rival tribe woud be easily
defeated by his arsenal of European cannons and muskets. He led a small
band of non-soldiers against Lapu Lapu, but things went wrong
immediately. First, a planned cannon assault was thwarted by the presence
of a coral reef that kept his ships out of firing range.Then, Magellan and
his crew struggled ashore in full armor, but Lapu Lapu’s fighters quickly
discovered all they had to do was aim arrows at the invading party’s
unprotected legs. Many of Magellan’s men fled, but the explorer fought on.
Finally,

TO MOLLUCAS, EVENTUALLY ONE SHIP RETURN IN

 In 1519 Elcano sailed as master of the Concepción, one of five
vessels in Ferdinand Magellan’s fleet, which had sailed west from
Europe with the goal of reaching the Spice Islands (the Moluccas) in
the East. After Magellan’s death in the Philippines in April 1521, a
series of men took command of the expedition, but none of them
stayed in charge for longer than a few months. As one of the few
remaining men, Elcano took charge of one of the two surviving ships,
the Victoria, later that year. He safely brought the expedition
home to Spain in September 1522, despite scurvy, starvation, and
harassment by the Portuguese. Only 18 Europeans had survived the
voyage, which constituted the first journey around the globe.In 1525
Elcano was appointed chief pilot on García Jofre de Loaisa’s
expedition to claim the Molucca Islands for Spain. The expedition
was ultimately a failure, though, and both Cano and Loaisa lost
their lives.
