Antonio Pigafetta was an Italian navigator. He was one of the few people that completed the entire journey around the world. He kept a journal in which hearsay evidence is largely mixed with personal experience, but which gives by far the best and fullest account of the expedition. Francisco Albo, the contramaestre of the Trinidad, kept a log book of the voyage, largely consisting of nautical observations that provide data for the actual course sailed by the vessels of the fleet. The Portuguese historian, Gaspar Correa sailed with Vasco da Gama. Gaspar Correa gave descriptions of Magellan's voyage in his "Lendas da India" that bear evidence of a degree of first-hand information. Francis Guillemard qualified in medicine, then travelled the world writing and researching zoology and geography, and writing Magellan's biography.
