The Magellan-Elcano Expedition left Spain in 1519 with four other ships. They crossed the Atlantic, discovered the Strait of Magellan, and passed through that into the Pacific Ocean. The voyage led to the discoveries of new routes for the Europeans - and new lands, as they touched Brazil, Argentina, the Mariana Islands, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Moluccas (the Spice Islands).
Only two ships survived to reach the Moluccas, the Nao Trinidad and the Victoria. The Victoria ultimately completed the first world circumnavigation. The Nao Trinidad sprung a leak, which was repaired, but they never returned to Spain. Ultimately, the Portuguese captured the crew and the ship.
The current Nao Trinidad was constructed of fiberglass and wood in Spain in 2018. The vessel weighs 200 gross tons, has three masts, and a bowsprit, and reaches over 80 feet from the waterline to the top of the main mast.
