Usapang kasaysayan: The First Circumnavigation of the World (Part 3). The Return of the Impossible

Three years after the five Naos left Sanlúcar de Barrameda, 18 of the original 270 men returned.

We close in this episode our three-part mini-series on the First Circumnavigation of the World. We discuss here what happened to the remaining crew after Magellan’s death, the Cebu “red wedding”-esque affair, the nuemerous betrayals and lost of confidence, capture and escape, hunger, and finally, the return from the impossible journey.

Our primary resource in this series is Antonio Pigafetta’s, The First Voyage Around the World, 1519-1522: An Account of Magellan’s Expedition
