Ferdinand Magellan's first mate was Juan Sebastián Elcano. Elcano played a crucial role in the expedition, especially after Magellan's death in the Philippines in 1521. He ultimately led the remaining crew on the expedition's sole surviving ship, the Victoria, back to Spain, completing the first circumnavigation of the Earth. Elcano's leadership and navigation skills were instrumental in the success of this historic journey.
