'''Juan Sebastián de Elcano''' was was born in 1476 and was the [[captain]] of the first [[ship]] to circumnavigate the globe. Under [[Ferdinand Magellan]] he commanded the [[Concepción]], but after Magellan’s death in the [[Philippines]], he took command of the entire expedition. From the Philippines to the [[Molucca]] islands Cano sailed new waters, arriving in [[Spain]] with the [[Victoria]] and 18 men on Sept. 6, 1522. At first he was given all the credit for the trip, but later it was restored to Magellan. Cano died in 1526.<ref>http://www.thepirateking.com/bios/cano_juan_sebastian.htm</ref>
