Years: 1526 - 1526
The flagship of the decimated Loaísa expedition, the Santa Maria del Victoria, survives to complete its mission, reaching the islands of Visayas and Mindanao in the Philippines and the Moluccas, but its latest commander, one Yñigez, dies of food poisoning.
Only Andrés de Urdaneta and twenty other men survive to land in the Spice Island of Tidore, only to be taken prisoner by the Portuguese.
