Magellan’s main goal was to reach the Spice Islands by crossing the Pacific Ocean. While in the Philippines, “Magellan had his right leg pierced by a poisonous arrow, on which he gave orders to retreat by degrees” ( Doc E). This document was written by a crew member named Antonio Pigafetta who was a passenger in this expedition. Antonio was an eyewitness to the incidents that had occurred during that time. Pigafetta had a great admiration for Magellan for his determination and courage. Pigafetta was one of the six or eight crew members who fought along with

1519: a Spanish armada of five ships set sail that would soon be the first to circumnavigate the globe. Their captain, a Portuguese noble, was an accomplished student of cartography and astronomy. Europe’s cravings for spices sent Columbus to Asia, and into the barrier that was the Americas. Magellan’s expedition sought to find a way through, on a mission to bring a new trade route and immense wealth to Spain. Through the crew’s starvation, two mutinies against him, and his harsh personality and lack of accomplishment, Magellan proved his life was not worth saving.

Lastly the third reason why Magellan led himself to his deathbed. Magellan’s navigational skills were poor. According to Over the Edge of the World, By Harper Collins “he regularly sent small scouting parties in the long boats”, “they would go and come back with news of the findings.. And the rest would follow” Gines de Mafra recalled. This evidence shows that Magellan had planned the way easily, but doing it was difficult. Magellan purely relied on his search parties to go throughout the way. You might argue that he still got through and reached the spice islands, but he reached there with just a handful of men in his Armada.

Magellan was a better captain as a result of the difficulty of his journey and his navigational skills.

Ferdinand Magellan is the son of Portuguese nobility and a student of cartography and astronomy. Magellan had a goal to discover a western sea route through the Americans that led to the Spice Islands. Throughout this voyage Magellan wanted more such as his own fleet which was refused to be given by the King of Portugal. Instead, the Spanish king provided an armada or fleet or ships of five. Magellan employed a group of men in their teenage years and twenties which later staged a mutiny.

Ferdinadad Magellan was born in 1480 in Portugal. He was well educated in the cartography and astronomy fields. While Magellan was in his forties, he had planned a long trip to sail across the Atlantic ocean in order to find a straight that leads him to Asia. This is where he would find all the spices he wanted to gather. He had harvested 270 men to carry out his plan.

Christopher Columbus traveled in a sailboat and Charles Lindberg’s in his own airplane. These men were strong, and fearless they were willing to take the risk to get to their ideas. Christopher Columbus and Charles Lindberg’s voyages across the Atlantic Ocean had the same goal, but different motivations. It took Christopher Columbus four years to get across the Atlantic Ocean from the time he wanted to go until the time he actually went. He left Spain with three ships that were the Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria. Christopher Columbus had forty men on the ship of Santa Maria and the other two ships about twenty to thirty men ("What Are Some Facts of Christopher Columbus"). Charles Lindbergh’s only took 33 hours and 30 minutes to cross to the Atlantic Ocean and was alone on his flight.(“Charles Lindbergh Biography”) These two men were adventurous they didn't gave up on their
