1519--1520 Ferdinand Magellan (1480?--1521), a Portuguese navigator sailing for Spain on the first round-the-world voyage, headed down the east coast of South America and discovered the Strait of Magellan, which offered passage to the Pacific. Some events of this part of the voyage:
* At the mouth of the river now known as Rio de Janeiro, the crew dallied with native girls, whose favors were bought from their brothers for the price of a "German knife of the worst quality." Sailor Antonio Pigafetta reported that one beautiful girl, believing herself to be unobserved, filched a nail, valued for its iron, from a cabin. "Picking it up, with great skill and gallantry, she thrust it between the lips of her vagina and bending low, departed, the Captain General and I having witnessed this."
* Sighting a mountain, Magellan cried out, "Monte video!" ("I see a mountain!"), and so the capital of Uruguay was named.
* A giant of man--nearly naked, painted all over, and with huge straw-stuffed shoes on his feet--danced on the shore of a land that Magellan called Patagonia. The word means "land of the big-footed ones."
