Best Answer

Magellan himself died in the Philippines in 1521, eighteen months before his around the world voyage was completed in 1522. Only one of his five ships, Victoria, completed the circumnavigation of the globe, with just 18 survivors of the 250 who started the journey. Magellan's successor as captain, the Spaniard Juan Sebastian Elcano, decided to continue to sail west after Magellan's death.


The main record of the voyage is the journal was kept by the Italian scholar Antonio Pigafetta, who served as an assistant to both captains.
