On September 6, 1522, the first successful sailing
expedition around the world was completed. Ferdinand Magellan started this trip
in 1519 with 5 ships and 270 men. He was the first explorer to see the Pacific
Ocean. Even though Magellan was killed in a tribal battle, his surviving crew
of only 1 ship and 22 men finished the trip.
I've been to the Atlantic Ocean many times, but I've never seen the Pacific Ocean in person. Have you seen the Pacific Ocean?
