You made it back, unfortunately Ferdinand Magellan did not. Only 18 of the original 270 crew members were left to be the first explorers to circumnavigate (to travel around) the world. This is another picture of Magellan's ship the "Victoria". The ship is now a huge tourist attraction in Spain. Answer question 8, your journey ends here! Great job!
