What was the name of the crewman in the "Giants of Patagonia" that was with Magellan in the 1520s?

Question

I need to know this answer for a Josh Berstein group to win a prize, and I don't know where to look for it online.
I can't find this answer on the online journal for Digging For The Truth, and I'm really desperate to know the answer. I think if I try to look it online in the search engines, I'd be way too confused. If there's any help, thanks, because I think that this is one of the second season episodes that I can't watch to get the anwer for. The online journal doesn't help me because I've read it so many times, that I can't see the name of the guy or what his job was on Magellan's ship in the 1520s.

Answer 1

Ferdinand Magellan ( he was in charge of the crewmen)

Juan Sebastián Elcano: took over command of the expedition after Magellan's death

Don Antonio, né Antonio Pigafetta : He signed on as the only non-seaman, civilian tourist/observer and official chronicler of the voyage. Initially Megellan didn't think much of him but eventually they became of one mind and he almost lost his own life saving Megellan at the Battle of Mactan.

Answer 2

Could it be............The rumor soon gained widespread acceptance. Its credibility was helped by the fact that it built upon a large number of earlier accounts of Patagonian giants. For instance, Antonio Pigafetta, who sailed with Magellan in the 1520s, had written of an encounter with a race of South American giants. According to Pigafetta, Magellan referred to these giants as 'Patagons' because of their big feet, and so the southern tip of South America came to be known as Patagonia.........Venetian Antonio Pigafetta was one of only 17 survivors who sailed around the world on the Magellan 5 ship expedition of 1519...........Unlike most of the crew, Pigafetta was of one mind with Magellan and almost died defending Magellan at the Battle of Mactan. ........Magellan`s encounter with the Patagonian giants was recorded by his on-board chronicler Antonio Pigafetta, a Venetian nobleman who was a Knight of Rhodes. ......Antonio Pigafetta, one of the expedition's few survivors and the chronicler of Magellan's expedition, wrote in his account about their encounter with natives twice a normal person's height.......Pigafetta also recorded that Magellan had bestowed the name "Patagão" (or Patagoni) on these people, but did not further elaborate on his reasons for doing so. Since Pigafetta's time the assumption that this derived from pata or foot took hold, and "Patagonia" was interpreted to mean "Land of the Bigfeet". .....So it was " Venetian Antonio Pigafetta" who was Magellan's on-board chronicler .
If this is it then let me know.
Thanks.
