Mangellan-BenArdelean

September 20, 1519

1519 King Charles is giving Magellan money to take this amazing trip to Spice Island. I am going to find so many new spices, gold, and silk.

Dear Journal, My crew and I are heading from Spain to find a new route to Spice Island. Everybody thinks going around Africa is faster but I think going west will be faster.

Dear Journal,

Last night are boat the, Santigo, got destoyed in a horrible storm. It caught on fire because it got struck by lighting.Reasently I meet the Bazillion natives.

1521,

Dear Journal,

I just disoverd the Philippines I also got to meet the natives that lived here. The water is so clear on the island and there are huge trees. There are houses that sit up on hills with a bunch of trees.

The reason I am taking this trip is because I want to try and be the first explorer around the world. I also planned the first voyage that went around the world. I conquered many obstacles on his trip and I found a new passageway to Spice Island. I discoverd that the world is not flat. Magellan was killed in a battel by the Philippines. Only 18 of Magellans crew members made it back to Spain.
