Facsimile reproduction of the different selected documentary corpuses, each accompanied by its corresponding volume of studies with research by eminent specialists and presented in luxurious wooden cases and silk folders.
The first circumnavigation of the Earth (1519-1522) is probably the greatest nautical feat in history. It is the indisputable glory of Spain to have sponsored and financed that enterprise, which opened a new Ocean to world trade and made possible, over time, centuries-old traffic from Manila to Acapulco. The portentous journey has remained inextricably linked to the memory of two characters: Fernando de Magellan, the man who discovered the strait and gave its name to the Pacific, and Juan Sebastián de Elcano, the sailor who with the “Victoria”, the only one left of The five ships that departed from Seville, made their journey in Sanlúcar de Barrameda after an amazing crossing through a wide gulf.
