Andres Resendez is a PhD historian at UC Davis. His latest book is called Conquering the Pacific: An Unknown Mariner and the Final Great Voyage of the Age of Discovery. The story he tells chronicles the journey of a group of Spanish ships sailing across the Pacific Ocean from Mexico Puerto De Navidad to the Orient. The mission helped establish ownership of territory in the easy by validating the location of the anti-meridian.

A dispute between Portugal and Spain coupled with a shortfall in sailing navigation technology left the location of the dividing line in doubt.
The other was the Vuelta...the never before accomplished East to West trans-Pacific route from the orient to the New World.
Among the most fascinating characters in this story is Lope Martine an African/European mulatto who led the charge and got his ship, the San Marcos back the New World...and for this discovery? The Spanish crown sentenced him to hang...WHAT? Just wait.
