Which famous pirate was the first ship commander to succesfully circunavigate the world?

Answer 1

The first ship commander to successfully circumnavigate the world was Ferdinand Magellan, although he did not complete the journey himself, as he was killed in the Philippines in 1521. His expedition, which began in 1519, was the first to sail from the Atlantic Ocean into the Pacific and back to Spain, proving that the Earth could be circumnavigated by sea. The voyage was completed by Juan Sebastián Elcano, who took command after Magellan's death.
