The Victoria, part of Magellan's expedition, was the first ship to circumnavigate the world. On its return to Spain in 1522, it carried gold and ginger obtained from Muslim traders in Mindanao and spices from the Moluccas. This cargo would justify more hazardous voyages to the East. The proceeds from the sale of these goods were more than enough to cover the initial expenses of fitting out the ships for Magellan's voyageImage type: Reproduction: Engraving
