Concepción (carrack)

The Concepción (Spanish for "Conception") was an early-16th-century Spanish carrack during the Age of Discovery, chiefly remembered as part of the Molucca Fleet (Armada de Molucca) that made up the 1519–1522 Magellan–Elcano expedition that attempted to find a Southwestern Passage around South America to the Spice Islands (now Indonesia's Malukus) and subsequently completed the first circumnavigation of the globe. The Concepción itself did not complete the journey, needing to be scuttled in the Philippines in 1521.
