An illustration depicting the death of the Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan (c. 1480-1521) whose expedition was the first to circumnavigate the globe in 1519-22. Magellan was killed on 27 April 1521 at the Battle of Mactan on the island of Cebu (now the Philippines).

The arrival of Magellan’s expedition in the Philippines in March 1521 connected European navigation with Southeast Asian societies and became an early step in the long history of Spanish involvement in the region.

The grounding of the Santa María exposed weaknesses in discipline among the crew and a lack of preparation for Caribbean navigation. How would things have been different had the crew followed Columbus's orders?

Listen, I’m a witch, I get there are things we can’t explain, but do some research please. Even back during the #AgeOfExploration, people were trying to figure out how Cricumnavigate the Globe. If you don’t trust science, trust #History. And no, don’t use tags to give out misleading info. It’s rude.

It's Friday the 13th! At least it's the weekend!

While there’s no evidence that Friday the 13th itself was a prominent superstition in the Age of Exploration, it likely had some significance due to broader beliefs about Fridays and the number 13.
