yes
no they just sailed the same country, Spain
Columbus sailed the Ocean blue in the year of 1492. He started and finished it in the same year.
Christopher Columbus set sail on his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492. He departed from Palos de la Frontera, Spain, on August 3, and reached the Bahamas on October 12 of that same year. This journey is often credited with opening the Americas to European exploration and colonization.
Spain because they give him money to explore the new world
Ferdinand Magellan got killed on his journey around the world but still got the credit for traveling around the whole entire world Actually Ferdinand Magellan was the first person to sail all the way across the world in 1519-1521. then Sir Frances Drake was then wanting to do the same as Magellan so he had went to sail off around the world. Magellan had sailed off with 250 men and 5 ships! it was a long and difficult journey some of his men mutinied or rebelled. he first reached the Philippines were he was killed in a fight with the native people. in September of 1522 18 survivers arrived back at Spain. They were the first people to circumnavigate or sail around the world!
he called it loco stamiya in french that means large ocean.
The Atlantic Ocean had the same name long before Columbus set sale. The ancient Greeks are responsible for coming up with its name.
Magellan
When i searched his name in the Internet, nothing came out except for this. We both have the same question. > Maybe it's because of his unpopularness ( if there is such a word ). > Or maybe because Magellan took his place.. > But there's also a possibility that Magellan's slave, Enrique, was the first person who was able to sail around the world. My answer's not really that helpful, so I'll just say sorry in advance. Sorry.
the North Atlantic ocean ! the North Atlantic ocean ! the North Atlantic ocean !

It's the same reason you take the escalator instead of the stairs, or the moving sidewalk instead of the stationary one. Why work harder than you have to?
