Ferdinand Magellan, who was killed in the Philippines, was the commander of five ships that tried to sail around the world with Spain as their point of origin. Only One of the five ships completed the circumnavigation of the globe. Ferdinand Magellan is credited as the person who proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Earth is oval shaped by leading, (most of the way), a bunch of ships around the world.
