The Nao Victoria was the first ship to make a circumnavigation of the globe. This carrack left Seville in 1519 under the command of the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan. He died during what was to be a three-year voyage and was replaced by the Spaniard, Juan Sebastian Elcano. The ship was subsequently used as a merchant vessel and sank with the loss of all on board during a journey from the Antilles to Seville in 1570.
