Portuguese Stamp Showing The Route Map Of Vasco Da Gama

The Third Set Of Stamps portrays the events during the third stage (Read Related Posts : Stage 01, Stage 02 )of the voyage, the crossing of the Indian Ocean from Malindi (Kenya) to Calicut (India) and back .

The First stamp shows the pilot hired in Malindi using a Kamal. Helped by the monsoon winds, the Portuguese fleet took 4 weeks to arrive in Calicut, in May 1498. Negotiations with the Zamorin of Calicut did not go well . In spite of the failed negotiations, Vasco da Gama took some fishermen into his custody and set sail hastily in August . The trip back to Malindi, against the monsoon winds, took 4 months, with immense loss of lives.

The ships came back to Portugal separately, during July-September 1499, carrying enough cargo to make the expedition highly profitable. Portugal’s dream to find a route to India that avoided the Venetian trading monopoly had turned true .

The Below Set of stamp issues depicts the second stage of Vasco Da Gama’s Voyage To India (Related Post- Part 01), on the West coast of Africa.

After roaming around the Cape of Good Hope, the fleet passed in December 1497 a stretch of coast that was named Natal (Christmas, in Portuguese). The fleet then landed on various places up to what is nowadays Kenya, erecting pad roes (standards) and being the first Europeans to enter Mombasa, but were understandably often met with hostility. It was in the friendlier Malindi that Vasco da Gama was able to find a pilot to guide them to India using the monsoon winds.
