	Thanks to smreidy113 and AdamBishop for their Columbus and Cook quizzes. They led me to create this one. Unfortunately, some of my sources conflicted in regard to the dates so I've used the years that appeared the most. As always, all suggestions are appreciated.

	I'm in doubt about Cape Verde. The best source (the chronicle of the voyage by the Italian Antonio Pigafetta) says "passando tra Capo Verde e le sue isole in 14 gradi e mezzo" (passing between Cape Verde and its islands in 14 degrees and a half [of N latitude]). So seemingly the ships sailed between Cape Verde or Cap-Vert (the cape itself, in modern Senegal) and the Cape Verde Islands, without disembarking in the islands (the modern country of Cape Verde). Of course, I'm assuming that by "visited" you mean that Magellan or his men actually landed on some part of the modern countries, not only that the ships sailed near their coasts.

	Also, in the map shown in the link you give, the strait appears as "straight" of Magellan. Is that map really from the BBC? I can't believe they fell in such misspelling.

	dancastro, the source that said he landed on Cape Verde wasn't very clear and, after checking again, I think it's better off as a bonus. Thanks. I'm not sure where the BBC got the map from, but it wasn't the only source I used.
