I am prefacing this with an apology to Magellan as well as my readers. This review has been delayed at first due to weather emergencies on the east coast and then a death in my family. Thank you for your understanding.
Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese explorer born c. 1480, and along with his crew were the first Europeans to enter the Pacific Ocean. They were also the first to successfully circumnavigate the globe. It is because of his reputation in history, that his name is put on the modern day version of compasses and astrolabesthat he might have used.
