Tuesday, February 11th, 2020 we enjoyed a wonderful exhibit in Seville about Ferdinand Magellan's trip around the world.
The exhibit had captains in both Spanish and English.
The map of the world showing the route of Magellen's voyage around the world.
The Project- Dreams and Opportunity
"1518- In a world full of the unknown"
"1518- The fleet for the first journey around the world."
Magellan left with a fleet of five ships.
The voyage began in Seville on October 10, 1518.
They started out with 245 men on the five ships.
The ships set sail hoping to find the Spice Islands.
It took them 143 days to go from Sanlucar de Barrameda to "Rio de la Plata.
They stayed in the Canary Islands for three days.
"The Strait- The Point of no return"
After 99 days of sailing they arrived at the Marina Islands.
They traveled for days without seeing land.
The voyage continues.
This exhibit shows when the fleet of ships arrived at Indonesia.
Arriving at the Indian Ocean.
After days of sailing they arrived at the Cape of Good Hope.
They experienced lots of storms on their journey around the world.
Only one of the five ships made it back to Seville after traveling for three years.
"Garry and Janet look at the exhibit of "A New World"
One ship out of the five ships that left was all that returned from the long voyage around the world.
"The time of voyaging into the unknown"
"Failure became a lesson"
"The return, a step forward"
"Towards as new Impossible Dream"
"Towards a New Frontier"
"It is Mankind's infinite voyage into the unknown."
"A voyage and a dream that continues today."
"We are all voyagers."
The longest voyage from 1519 to 1522.around the world. and back again.
"The Longest Voyage- New Dreams, new challenges." 1519 to 1522.
We had a wonderful day in Seville. I enjoyed the exhibit showing the first trip around the world. that began in Seville, Spain where we were.
