well Columbus was the first man with the idea to circumnnavigate the globe, but when he discovered the Americas, he got sidetracked, and never completed his voyage. but Ferdinand Magellan and his crew of 250 men and 5 ships, now having the knowledge of the Americas, were the first people to sail across the pacific. but Magellan died in the Philippines, because he became unwisely involved with politics and was killed. and also only 1 ship made it back to Spain with only 18 out of the original 250 men. so Magellan circumnavigated the globe, but a small portion of his crew did, although im not sure if anyone really knows their names.
