Magellan was the commander of the first ship to circumnavigate the world. But his journey was not a lucky one. As he was Portuguese, many of his Spanish crewmen and captains of the other ships opposed him to the point of several mutiny's. He fought off all, but lost two of his ships by havary and one by a deserting captain. Before he could finish the journey, he was killed in attempt to help one of his Philippine allies against another Philippine chief, Lapu Lapu. He confronted an army of 1500 with just 49 men. And the enemy concentrated on him alone, while the other 49 escaped, and finished the journey with only 18 survivors in the smallest of the five ships

250 men, 5 ships and only 1 ship and 18 men came back including Magellan.

Magellan set sail with a fleet of around 270 men spread across five ships when he embarked on his voyage to circumnavigate the globe in 1519.
Five ships commanded by Ferdinand Magellan left Spain and sailed southeast. They discovered a passage through the islands at the southern tip of South America, which is now called the Straits of Magellan. One ship was destroyed, and one returned to Spain. The remaining three ships then sailed northwest across the Pacific Ocean, and kept sailing west. They sailed past many islands, always going mostly West. Magellan himself was killed in what were later named the Philippine Islands in the Battle of Mactan. The survivors continued west across the Indian Ocean and around the Cape of Good Hope, and back to Spain. One ship out of five reached Spain, taking 3 years to complete the voyage.
