    Ferdinand Magellan departed Spain in 1519 with five ships and 270 men to search for a western passage to the Spice Islands. After resupplying in the Canary Islands, the fleet sailed along the coast of Africa and South America, discovering Rio de Janeiro along the way. In October 1520, they found the passage they sought, later known as the Strait of Magellan. Emerging in the Pacific, Magellan named the ocean and reached the Philippines in 1521, where he was killed in a battle. Under a new commander, the Victoria returned to Spain in 1522, completing the first circumnavigation of the Earth with only 18 surviving crew members out of the original 270.

    Timeline of First Voyage Around the World

    August 10, 1519 – 270 men including Portugese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, who is the
    captain of the ship Trinidad, and Pigafetta left Seville and descended the Guadalquivir River to
    Sanlúcar de Barrameda, at the mouth of the river. Along Trinidad, there are also other ships
    namely Victoria, Conception, San Antonio, and Santiago.

    20 September 1519 – they set sail and left Spain.

    September 26, 1519 - the fleet stopped in the Canary Islands, where they took in supplies
    During the stop, Magellan received a secret message from his father-in-law, Diogo Barbosa,
    warning him that some of the Castilian captains were planning a mutiny, with Juan de Cartagena
    (captain of the San Antonio) being the ring-leader of the conspiracy. He also learned that the
    King of Portugal had sent two fleets of caravels to arrest him.

    October 3, 1519 - the fleet departed the Canary Islands, sailing south along the coast of Africa.
    Magellan made the unorthodox decision to follow the African coast in order to evade the
    Portuguese caravels which were pursuing him.

    November 29, 1519 – the fleet reached the approximate latitude of Cape Saint Augustine which
    is the coastline of Brazil

    December 13, 1519 - the fleet reached Rio de Janeiro

    December 27, 1519 - the fleet left Rio de Janeiro and sailed to the South American coast, hoping
    to reach the fabled strait that would allow them passage past South America to the Spice Islands

    March 31, 1520 - a break in the coast was spotted. There, the fleet found a natural harbor which
    they called Port St. Julian. The men would remain at St. Julian for five months, before resuming
    their search for the strait.

    August 24, 1520 - After almost four months at St. Julian, the fleet left for Santa Cruz

    October 21, 1520 - they spotted a headland which they named Cape Virgenes. Past the cape,
    they found a large bay. Unlike at Río de la Plata earlier, the water did not lose its salinity as they
    progressed, and soundings indicated that the waters were consistently deep. This was the passage
    they sought, which would come to be known as the Strait of Magellan. At the time, Magellan
    referred to it as the Estrecho (Canal) de Todos los Santos ("All Saints' Channel"), because the
    fleet travelled through it on 1 November or All Saints' Day.

    November 28, 1520 - The fleet's remaining three ships completed the journey to the Pacific.
    Magellan named the waters “Mar Pacifico” (Pacific Ocean) because of its apparent stillness.
    March 6, 1521 - the fleet reached the Mariana Islands. The first land they spotted was likely
    the island of Rota, but the ships were unable to land there, and instead dropped anchor thirty
    hours later on Guam.

    March 16, 1521 - Magellan arrived in the Philippines on the island now called Samal, then
    landed on the island of Homonhon, which was then uninhabited.

    March 28, 1521 - Magellan and his troops met the king, who arrived aboard the Ballanghai

    March 31, 1521 - First Mass held in the Philippines

     Magellan planted a giant cross in our land, became the famed Magellan's Cross.
     The king of Cebu was baptized as a Christian
     People wished to become Christians through their free will and not because they were
    forced/intimidated

    April 6, 1521 - They sighted Cebu and made landfall the next day

    April 27, 1521 – The battle of Mactan happened. He died that day because of a shot of a
    poisoned arrow.

    November 8, 1521 - The ships finally reached the Moluccas

    December 21, 1521 - The Victoria set sail via the Indian Ocean route home commanded by
    Juan Sebastián Elcano.

    May 6, 1522 - the Victoria rounded the Cape of Good Hope, with only rice for rations

    September 6, 1522 - Elcano and the remaining crew of Magellan's voyage returned to Spain
    aboard Victoria, almost exactly three years after they departed. Only 18 men out of the original
    270 men completed the circumnavigation.
