1660historical_info = flavor_cas.28.historical_info Fernão de Magalhães, better known as Ferdinand Magellan, was a Portuguese navigator who proposed an ambitious plan to reach the Spice Isles by sailing westward, seeking to establish a new route to the lucrative spice trade. Under Spanish patronage, his expedition departed in 1519 with five ships, achieving groundbreaking success in exploration as it not only charted a route to sail from the Atlantic Ocean to the East Indies through Cape Horn, but also revealed the immense Pacific Ocean was traversable, and that global circumnavigation was possible.
