Although Ferdinand Magellan is often credited with being the first man to circumnavigate the globe, he was killed in the Moluccas in 1521 when his ship Victoria was only about halfway around the world.
De Elcano is thus a fitting choice of name for a Spanish sail-training vessel, and his four-masted namesake has served the officers and cadets of the Spanish Navy in that capacity for almost three-quarters of a century.
Whether flying the flag of a monarchy, Franco's fascist dictatorship, or parliamentary democracy, Juan Sebastian de Elcano has sailed both as a training vessel and as a goodwill ambassador for Spain, and always as a vivid reminder that Spain once ruled supreme at sea.
