In the sixteenth century, an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration, Ferdinand
Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the world. As a young Portuguese noble,
he served the king of Portugal, but he became involved in the quagmire of political
intrigue at court and lost the king's favor. After he was dismissed from service to the king
of Portugal, he offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V of Spain. A papal decree of
1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 degrees W longitude to Spain
and all the land east of that line to Portugal. Magellan offered to prove that the East
Indies fell under Spanish authority. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain
with five ships. More than a year later, one of these ships was exploring the topography
of South America in search of a water route across the continent. This ship sank, but the
remaining four ships searched along the southern peninsula of South America. Finally
they found the passage they sought near a latitude of 50 degrees S. Magellan named this
passage the Strait of All Saints, but today we know it as the Strait of Magellan. One ship
deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were privileged to
gaze at that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean. Those who remained crossed the
meridian we now call the International Date Line in the early spring of 1521 after ninety-
eight days on the Pacific Ocean. During those long days at sea, many of Magellan's men
died of starvation and disease. Later Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in
the Philippines and was killed in a tribal battle. Only one ship and seventeen sailors under
the command of the Basque navigator Elcano survived to complete the westward journey
to Spain and thus prove once and for all that the world is round, with no precipice at the
edge.
