He Was Borin In 1486(:
Juan Sebastián Elcano (from Wikipedia) No idea if this is right, but I think so.
The first ship to circumnavigate the world was the Victoria. It was a part of Ferdinand Magellan's expedition in 1519. It was commanded by Magellan until he died in 1521 in the Philippines. After Magellan's death, it was commanded by Juan Sebastian Elcano, who completed the voyage in Europe in 1522.
Magellan was given credit for it. However he was not the first as he died half way around. His first mate Juan Sebastián de Elcano was actually the first person to successfully circumnavigate the globe.
The last commander that survived was Juan Sebastian Elcano. He returned to Spain with the Victoria and the surviving members of the expedition.
Juan Sebastian Elcano was the first navigator to complete circling the globe that was started by Ferdinand Magellan, who passed during the trip.

No nope it wasn't Columbus neither Magellan it was Juan Sebastian Elcano. Magellan didn't complete the circumnavigation because he died before the battle of Mactan in Pre colonial Philippines and Elcano continued the voyage back to Spain with Victoria (the only surviving ship of 5 from Magellan's expedition)
The first ship to circumnavigate the world was the Victoria. It was a part of Ferdinand Magellan's expedition in 1519. It was commanded by Magellan until he died in 1521 in the Philippines. After Magellan's death, it was commanded by Juan Sebastian Elcano, who completed the voyage in Europe in 1522.
He was the first person to circumnavigate the world and found a hidden strait where you could sail to Asia. Technically, he didn't circumnavigate the world, because he died on Mactan Island on April 27, 1521. Juan Sebastian del Cano (Elcano) took over and they sailed to Asia and collected valuable spices. Than they sailed back to Spain and made it back with only about 20 survivors.
Ferdinand Magellan is generally given credit, but he died in the Philippians.Certain members of his original crew, most notably his navigator, Juan Sebastián de Elcano did make it.
Juan Sebastián Elcano died on 1526-08-04.

Actually, he should NOT be. He was killed in a battle in the Philippines, and did not complete the circumnavigation of the world. It was completed by Juan Sebastián Elcano, but Magellan had better press- and got the credit. .
England, Spain, France, Portugal, Netherlands were the primary explorers in the New World.
