150 Crew Men Sailed Around The World.
1519- 1522
It took about 1 year
I beileve that it was Ferdinad Magellan
It's Magellan. Also he did not complete a full circumnavigation, as he was killed in the Philippines about half way around the globe. The rest of the voyage was undertaken by Elcano. The ship Victoria, was the only ship that completed the voyage between 1519-1522

The Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan and the Spanish fleet, proved the world was round. They were the first to circumnavigate around the world and complete the first voyage around the world.
Ferdinand Magellan was the captain of the first ship to sail around the world. He died in the Philippians before the voyage was completed, but he is given credit for the voyage.
Sir Francis Drake became the second captain to circumnavigate the world between 1577 to 1580. He was also second in command of the English fleet as they fought the Spanish Armada.
The world is round.
They traveled around the world!

Ferdinand Magellan's voyage proved it was possible to sail from Europe to the eastern coast of Asia. He used a route around the southern tip of South America. He was the first to accomplish this voyage.
The first voyage to the New World as in 1492.
Do you perhaps mean Magellan? If I recall correctly, he died near the end of his voyage, but the rest of his crew lived to return home.
