Honoring Our Explorers

Ferdinand Magellan’s expedition, commissioned by King Charles I of Spain, aimed to find a westward route to Asia and the Spice Islands while avoiding conflict with Portuguese interests. This ambitious journey set sail from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, navigating through the Santa Lucia Bay and around the Cape of Good Hope. With a fleet of five ships and over 250 crew members, the mission sought not only to circumnavigate the globe but also to secure a monopoly on trade routes for ten years. The voyage represented a significant leap in maritime exploration.
