Fernando de Magallanes: the trip to Molucas Islands

This is the story of Fernando Magallanes. A brief summary because the real story is incredible and full of adventures and extreme dangers. They never knew exactly where they were going and most of the sailors died in this incredible journey. 


This is another documentary which is more dramatised. A bit longer and in spanish and very well explained. You can watch it with your family. 


These are the five ships of the fleet. Magallanes was the leader of all the fleet, he was portuguese and also the captain of la Trinidad. These ships were called "Naos".

The Discovery of America

In 1492, Christopher Columbus, a Genoese explorer, set sail from Spain with three ships (La Niña, La Pinta, and La Santa Maria) on a mission to find a western route to Asia. Instead, he stumbled upon the Caribbean islands, which he called the "New World." 

Columbus made landfall on the island of Guanahani (which he renamed San Salvador) in the Bahamas on October 12, 1492, and went on to explore other islands in the region, including Cuba and Hispaniola.

Columbus mistakenly believed that he had reached the East Indies and referred to the indigenous peoples he encountered as "Indians." Columbus made a total of four voyages to the New World and is credited with paving the way for European colonization of the Americas.
