First voyage around the World

Historical Information:

On 10 August 1519, five ships departed from Seville for what was to become the first circumnavigation of
the globe. Linked by fame to the name of its captain, Magellan, much of the expedition is known through
the travelogue of one of the few crew members who returned to Spain, Antonio Pigafetta. A narrative and
cartographic record of the journey (including 23 hand-drawn watercolour charts) from Patagonia to
Indonesia, from the Philippines to the Cape of Good Hope, Pigafetta's The First Voyage around the World
is a classic of discovery and exploration literature.
Background of the Author:
Antonio Pigafetta (Italian: [anˈtɔːnjo piɡaˈfetta]; c. 1491 – c. 1531) was an Italian scholar and
explorer from the Republic of Venice. He traveled with the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand
Magellan and his crew by order of the King Charles I of Spain on their voyage around the world.
During the expedition, he served as Magellan's assistant and kept an accurate journal which later
assisted him in translating the Cebuano language. It is the first recorded document concerning the
language.
Pigafetta was one of the 18 men who returned to Spain in 1522, out of the approximately 240 who
set out three years earlier. The voyage completed the first circumnavigation of the world; Juan
Sebastián Elcano had served as captain after Magellan's death during the voyage in 1521 in
the Philippines. Pigafetta's surviving journal is the source for much of what is known about Magellan
and Elcano's voyage.

Historical Information:
Piracy in the Sulu Sea occurred in the vicinity of Mindanao, where frequent acts of piracy were
committed against the Spanish. Because of the continual wars between Spain and the Moro people,
the areas in and around the Sulu Sea became a haven for piracy which was not suppressed until the
beginning of the 20th century. The pirates should not be confused with the naval forces
or privateers of the various Moro tribes. However, many of the pirates operated under government
sanction during time of war.
