I'm currently reading a book I had no idea could existed. I found it in a railway station...
The subject is Magellan's expedition, and the authors/editors have gathered lots of material and trimmed it down to make it readable and instructive.
I've had a fascination for this first world tour and other sea things (the 1968 Sunday Times Golden Globe Challenge, with Moitessier, Crowhurst, Tetley...)
It's quite fantastic.
Le voyage de Magellan 1519-1522, Chandeigne editions.
