Magellan sailed down the coast of modern-day Brazil and .Argentina after crossing the Atlantic. “Thence they navigated along the (Argentine) coast, and arrived on the last day of March of the year 1520 at the port of St. Julian.” a journal entry of a crewman states in Document B. Magellan and his crew were in search of a waterway that would lead to the Pacific Ocean. At last, Magellan had found a strait linking the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, months after leaving the Port San Julian (Doc C). Magellan found the passage he was looking for using his navigational skills; this proves he was worth defending. The second reason why Magellan was worth defending was because of his sacrifice.
As a child, every fall, my parents would take me and my siblings camping. Dad worked a lot, so we counted down the days of summer, until we got to be together. Every breath I took was like I was inhaling my childhood. I could hear the waves bouncing off the rocks as we sat on the patio and had lunch. The smell of the water and the warmth that touched my skin, when the sun peeked through the clouds, took me back in time to the campground.
Cabrillo hoped to find a wealthy city know as Cibola, and somewhere in the Pacific coast, and a connecting route to the Northwest Passage. The expedition sailed out of the port of Navidad, on June 1542 and brought with him a crew of sailors, soldiers, and Indians in three ships. By the end of the month Cabrillo passed Baja Point and entered uncharted waters, where no Spanish ships gone before. On the 28th of September he landed on an island which he named San Salvador, after his flagship. They reached as far north as the Russian River before the autumn storms forced them to turn back to San Salvador on November 23, 1542.
Business Shadow Project This shadow project was conducted on July 11, 2008. I chose to shadow a manager at the AirTran Holdings Corp. He holds a title of Senior Operations Manager at the Orlando, FL headquarters. I brought with me a rough list of questions that I would use to prompt him into more detail. On the day I shadowed him, it was already summer here, and thus the chances of storms was heavy.
May 21- July 31 We started upstream on the Missouri River from the St Louis area camp. We had been preparing for the expedition since fall of last year. Me and nearly four dozen other men met up with Meriwether Lewis. We started making our way up the Missouri on a fiftyfive foot long keelboat and two smaller pirogues. As we traveled, I spent most of his time on the boat, charting the course of our journey and mapping it out the river and such, while Meriwether was often ashore studying the landforms, animals, and plants.
He asked me if I would want to go on a trip of a life time and I was sold right then and there. I was allowed on the trip as long as I went to navigation school. Finally on 1492 we set sale for a new route to Asia. By day 27 I thought it was hopeless and thought we were sailing straight to our death but finally we landed on San Salvador and Chris proposed that I be his lieutenant Governor . I was honored and graciously accepted his offer.
I was bisecting the large territory he charted for Smith and England nearly a decade before the Pilgrim’s reached Plymouth. I had departed my voyage exactly at the site of a Monacan encampment. And I aspired, as once did he, to reach Jamestown. So I mentally dedicated my journey to the spirit of

Student Name Professor Name Course Number Date Impact of Darwin’s Experience during the Voyage of the Beagle on His Idea of Natural Selection Darwin embarked on a two year sail on 27 December 1831. His experiences and during the journey complimented much of what had been of interest to him since childhood. The journey gave birth to one of his greatest theories on human origin. Notably, the journey influenced Darwin’s view of the world as seen from the records, books and films as “The Voyage of the Beagle (Naff 157). Darwin travelled to the coast of South America and areas around the cost.
I also caught two starfish which I kept for myself. I also caught a huge, pink jellyfish that had washed up ashore. The hurricane also caused the waves to be bigger than usual which was more fun to swim in. Going to Florida has become an annual trip for me and my family. We go every year for Christmas and New Year’s.
