Ferdinand Magellan was the first captain to lead an expedition that successfully circumnavigated the globe, starting in 1519 and completing it in 1522. While he did not survive to see the end of the journey, his crew finished the trip. Sir Francis Drake was the second captain to accomplish the circumnavigation between 1577 and 1580.
