Navigator Ferdinand Magellan set off on a journey around the world half a millennium ago, on September 20, 1519. The enterprise, conceived as a commercial expedition, became one of the main events of the XVI. When crossing the Atlantic Ocean, the ships never lost each other. And all this thanks to the alarm system invented by Magellan. The flotilla passed along the Atlantic coast of South America. For 38 days they managed to go around the New World from the south along the Strait, which then received the name of Magellan. On November 28, they went out into the ocean, called the Pacific. And all this is due to the fact that not a single storm happened in its waters during the four months of sailing. In total, the expedition traveled more than 17 thousand kilometers in the Pacific Ocean. March 6, 1521 Guam, and soon Magellan reached the previously unknown Philippine Islands, where he died in a skirmish with the natives.
