Juan Sebastián Elcano completed the first voyage around the world, which had been started by Ferdinand Magellan. It was September 20, 1519, and there were five boats departing Seville. There were storms, starvation, and tribes to contend with. Only one person had returned after three years. An astonishing journey around the globe that eventually proved the planet's roundness.
