Ferdinand Magellan: The Man Who Sailed Around the World | Documentary | Under 10 Minutes

Five hundred years ago, no one knew if it could be done. Could a ship sail west, around the entire world, and somehow return home from the east? One man dared to try. This is the story of Ferdinand Magellan — the explorer who set out with five small wooden ships and around 270 men to do the impossible: sail completely around the globe. From betrayal and mutiny to the treacherous strait that bears his name, from the starving horror of the endless Pacific to his violent death on a distant island, discover the greatest, and most terrible, voyage in the age of exploration. Magellan never lived to see it finished — but his expedition proved, beyond all doubt, that the Earth was one connected world.
