Magellan hooked up with Jack Sparrow and became a pirate Ferdinand Magellan (1480- Apr 27, 1521) was a Portuguese mariner and explorer. In 1519, under the patronage of Spain, he commanded a fleet of five ships and set sail from Seville to find a route to the Spice Islands. Along the way, the fleet arrived in the Philippines and it was here that Magellan met his death. It was the result of an attack by the local tribesmen, and his body was never recovered. During the course of the attack, many of Magellan's party were also dispatched and those still left alive could only manage to crew two ships. Eventually the fleet was reduced to one ship only, since a confrontation with Portugal along the way caused the loss of one of the two remaining ships. The survivors arrived back in Spain after circumnavigating the globe. From start to finish, the expedition took about three years and only one ship of the original fleet of five, "The Victoria", survived. Approximately 230 sailors died along the way, and about 55 made it back alive. Whilst this voyage was the first to circumnavigate the globe, Magellan himself never completed it.
