King John II of Portugal Greets Vasco da Gama, 1499
Vasco da Gama (1460s-1524) was a Portuguese explorer. In 1497, he led a fleet of four ships with a crew of 170 men from Lisbon on a journey around Africa and arrived in Kappadu near Calicut, India in May 1498. He was celebrated for opening a direct sea route to Asia and for Portugal's success as an early colonizing power. Following his initial voyage, the Portuguese crown realized that securing outposts on the eastern coast of Africa would prove vital to maintaining national trade routes to the Far East. Setting out in April 1524, with a fleet of fourteen ships, he took as his flagship carrack Santa Catarina do Monte Sinai on her last journey to India. He arrived in India in September. John II (1455-1495) was the king of Portugal and the Algarves in 1477/1481 -1495. He is known for re-establishing the power of the Portuguese throne, reinvigorating the Portuguese economy, and renewing his country's exploration of Africa and the Orient.
