Famous historical "firsts" tend to be controversial as a rule,
and the world's first circumnavigation is no exception. Ferdinand
Magellan is often celebrated as the first person to sail around the
world, but is that actually true? In many ways the expedition that
is given credit for completing the first circumnavigation may have
actually been one of the era's most disastrous sea-voyages. Who
really deserves the title of "first person to circle to globe?"
Tune in and find out how the flat earth, an island of people with
no heads, and a retirement plan based on cloves all play a role in
the story!
