Magellan on board his caravel, 19th century illustration
Illustration of Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521) on board his caravel. Magellan was a Portuguese explorer and a subject of the Hispanic Monarchy from 1518. He is best known for having planned and led the 1519 Spanish expedition to the East Indies across the Pacific Ocean to open a maritime trade route, during which he discovered the interoceanic passage bearing thereafter his name and achieved the first European navigation from the Atlantic to Asia. While on this voyage, Magellan was killed in the Battle of Mactan in 1521 in the present-day Philippines, but some of the expedition's surviving members, in one of the two remaining ships, subsequently completed the first circumnavigation of the Earth when they returned to Spain in 1522. From The Exploration of the World, Celebrated Travels and Travellers, Celebrated Voyages' by Jules Verne. Published in three volumes from 1878 to 1880, Celebrated Travels and Travelers is a history of the explorers and adventurers who voyaged to the far reaches of the globe, discovered the wonders of exotic lands and filled in the blank spaces on the world map. With illustrations by L Benett and P Philippoteaux.
