Juan Sebastián Elcano

Juan Sebastián Elcano (c. 1486–1526) was a Basque sailor from Getaria who completed the first circumnavigation of the globe. He joined Magellan's expedition in 1519, and after Magellan was killed in the Philippines in April 1521 the crew elected him captain. Elcano chose to sail west across the Indian Ocean, and brought the sole surviving ship, the Victoria, home to Sanlúcar de Barrameda in September 1522.

Charles V granted him a globe crest with the motto Primus circumdedisti me. In 1525 he sailed as chief pilot of the Loaísa expedition and died of scurvy in the Pacific in 1526.
