What date did Bartholomew Dais return from the cape of good hope?
Bartholomew Diaz rounded the Cape twice in his lifetime. He lived from 1450 to 1500 CE.As far as I know the exact date he returned from the Cape is not known, at least for his first voyage.He discovered the Cape of Good Hope in 1488, and then accompanied Vasco de Gama on another voyage in 1497. His return to Europe would be between 1488 and 1497. I would think that his return would be in the early 1490's, but you never know. However, these two dates should give you a decent time frame of when he would have returned.Of course, he perished off the Cape of Good Hope in 1500.

A cape it is generally defined as a land mass that juts out into the sea. In this respect Cape Town is not actually a cape. The Cape from which the city got its name is, in fact the Cape of Good Hope, also referred to as Cape point , which lies south of the city of Cape Town.What is the Cape Peninsula other than a land mass that juts into the sea!!? Off course it is a Cape, and a beautiful one at that! The first Portuguese seafarers all called it a Cape - "Cabo das Tormentas" which means "Cape of storms".Bartholomeus Dias gave it that name in 1488. Little did he know then how fitting that name would prove to be. Several years later on his next trip to the far east, he called at South America. From there he aimed at passing the Cape of Good Hope to India.A terrific storm sunk the entire little fleet, and Dias disappeared under the waves south of his Cape of Storms.
