FERDINAND MAGELLAN (1480 – 1521)
In 1519, this famous Portuguese sea captain – whose story inspired us to choose the name Magellan – commanded a ship that was the first to sail right around the world. Preparing for the voyage took more than a year and, from his ship, Magellan commanded a total of 241 men and a fleet of five ships.
They set out from Spain, sailed across the Atlantic and followed the South American coast to the bay that is now Rio de Janeiro. A year later, after destructive storms and mutiny, Magellan and his remaining crew resumed their voyage and became the first Europeans ever to sail across the Pacific. After living on rats and sawdust for 89 days many of the crew members died.
Several weeks after arriving in the Philippines, Magellan was killed in a battle. His ships were abandoned, destroyed and captured, and only one – the Victoria – managed to continue its voyage back to Spain. Almost three years after they set out, just 18 of the survivors finally reached their starting point – completing a voyage that could never have taken place without Magellan’s foresight and commitment.
In 2000, we chose the name Magellan because we share the same indomitable spirit as this long celebrated explorer. Like him, we are pioneers of our time and have gained knowledge and insight through direct, truly global experience.
