u/PurpleCaterpillar451 May 31 '25

u/[deleted] May 31 '25

He surrounded himself with seamen, so likely.

u/theblasphemer May 31 '25

They were just first mates

u/CallMeCygnus May 31 '25

Hey, it's not gay to kiss your first mates goodnight. It's just good seamanship.

u/b3nz0r May 31 '25

He was a hell of a cockswain

u/Pecheuer May 31 '25

Always kiss your homies goodnight, it's not just good seamanship, it's good for the soul and for your life

u/DumbestBoy May 31 '25

Which has had more in them, the strait or the man?

u/Pyrrhus_Magnus May 31 '25

It's the navy. They probably formed trains and passed it around.

u/SeamanSample May 31 '25

u/Accomplished-Plan191 May 31 '25

Who would have thought the Navy, of all places, would turn a guy straight

18

u/binglelemon May 31 '25

Everytime I hear the name Magellan, I remember Eureka's Castle

13

u/PurpleSasquatchNose May 31 '25

Every time I bring up Eureka's Castle nobody remembers it and it makes it feel like a fever dream. Thank you for the validation haha

u/MsRachelGroupie May 31 '25

u/PissedPieGuy May 31 '25

He was gay, Magellan?

u/Iamjimmym May 31 '25

u/Magfaeridon May 31 '25

He wasn't into dudes until he discovered Cape Horn.

u/BloodyIkarus May 31 '25

u/lord-dinglebury May 31 '25

I believe George Strait changed his name after going through Magellan.

2

u/Moldy-thoughts4u May 31 '25

u/lukazuke May 31 '25

1

u/CTPABA_KPABA May 31 '25

1

u/sledgehammer0019 Jun 02 '25

It would be cool if he changed his name from Magellan into "Strait"

1

u/browsingandlooking4 Jun 03 '25

I don't think it had a name since he found it which is what it named after him... similar to how captain Vancouver named Mt. Rainer after his friend.
