Book excerpt: SUMMARY There is no doubt the story of Ferdinand Magellan is epic. And this book doesn't argue that point. Though there is a significant misconception about Magellan: He never circumnavigated the globe. In fact, he was roughly 1500 miles shy of it before he was justifiably hacked to pieces by King Lapu-Lapu. This book, Juan Sebastián Elcano, is about the man who rallied the men of the failing Magellan mission. It's about the captain who brought home the Victoria to complete the first circumnavigation of the globe; with one of five ships that set sail under Magellan in 1519. It's about Elcano, the Emperor who celebrated him, and the men who worked under him, against him, and beside him as he completed the world's greatest sailing adventure. The Spanish Armada de Molucca was commanded by six different men, at five different moments during the expedition - the most famous and first being Magellan. When Elcano took command, the expedition had only made it half way around the globe. His ship was falling apart. His men were ill. His route was through hostile enemy territory. Against all odds, he made it back with 17 men. This is that story...

Book The First Circumnavigators

Download or read book The First Circumnavigators written by Harry Kelsey and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior histories of the first Spanish mariners to circumnavigate the globe in the sixteenth century have focused on Ferdinand Magellan and the other illustrious leaders of these daring expeditions. Harry Kelsey's masterfully researched study is the first to concentrate on the hitherto anonymous sailors, slaves, adventurers, and soldiers who manned the ships. The author contends that these initial trans global voyages occurred by chance, beginning with the launch of Magellan's armada in 1519, when the crews dispatched by the king of Spain to claim the Spice Islands in the western Pacific were forced to seek a longer way home, resulting in bitter confrontations with rival Portuguese. Kelsey's enthralling history, based on more than thirty years of research in European and American archives, offers fascinating stories of treachery, greed, murder, desertion, sickness, and starvation but also of courage, dogged persistence, leadership, and loyalty.
