First there still was not Cook. More than 200 years before Cook , in 1519 the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe went Fernando Magellan. After many adventures , discoveries , battles, death of Magellan's expedition led by Juan Sebastian Elcano de , who succeeded in 1522 to bring the only remaining ship around the 18th surviving crew members back to Spain. That Elcano is the first traveler, travel around the world . That he has received from the Spanish king's coat of arms with the image of the globe and the inscription "Primus circumdedisti me" (" You first came around me ").
In general, it is worth noting that both the risk of committing trip around the world in that era , and most importantly , the fact of the importance of making this journey for all of humanity, it was comparable in importance with the first manned flight into space.
