Magellan was a Portuguese explorer. His crew was the first to sail all around the world, but he did not because he died before he could accomplish it. Magellan died in a battle in 1521 in the Philipine Islands. His last remaining ship was the Victoria. He also named the Pacific Ocean, but he did not discover it.
