Tea with Alice and the Cheshire Cat Special Guest Stars: Magellan and Elcano Magellan's Journey set out in 1519 Goal: Find a westward sea route from Spain to the Spice Islands (Moluccas). Fleet: Five ships — Trinidad, San Antonio, Concepción, Victoria, and Santiago. Crew: About 270 men from across Europe and North Africa. Sponsor: King Charles I of Spain. On 6 September 1522, the Victoria limped back with only 18 survivors — gaunt, sick, and carrying spices worth a fortune. Magellan was killed in 1521 on Mactan Island. Upon Magellan's death, Elcano took over command of the ships. Juan Sebastián Elcano received a coat of arms inscribed: “Primus circumdedisti me” — You were the first to encircle me because the ship Victoria was the first circumnavigation of the earth by ship
