Magellan’s Voyage: Search For The Spice Island airs Mon 31 Jan on HISTORY
Spain 1519. Five ships and 270 men set off from the familiar shore on an unprecedented mission: to find a western sea passage to Indonesia’s coveted Spice Islands.
They’re commanded by Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese seafarer and nobleman who’s about to go on a journey that will transform the globe. Three years later, the expedition does the unthinkable: it becomes the first to circumnavigate the globe. It’s a watershed moment in history.
Magellan’s name is still cherished and recognised around the world half a millennium later.
His foresight and determination signal the beginning of a transformation that fundamentally affects our perception of the Earth, setting off a chain reaction that continues to reverberate throughout society today.
This one hour documentary tells the story of Magellan’s epic voyage.
