He found welsh, silks, and spices. He also found melons, cucumber, and coconuts (back then known as goblin nuts).
Vasco da Gama set sail for India in 1497 with a crew of about 170 men. His expedition aimed to establish a sea route to India, which was crucial for trade, particularly in spices. The voyage was notable for its challenges and marked a significant moment in the Age of Discovery.
Vasco De Gama was born in either 1460 or 1469 and died in 1524. So, he couldn't have made a trip in 1799.
It was unexpected that Vasco Da Gama Was going to go. His dad tried to sail to India and died, Vasco took of where his dad had left, and got to India, Even though most people thought it was impossible.
One reason for the Vasco da Gama trip around Africa and to India was that it was in Portugal's (and every other European trading power's) interest to find a way around the Ottoman Empire.
Vasco da Gama's voyages to India significantly boosted the Portuguese spice trade, yielding substantial profits. His first trip in 1497-1499 established a direct sea route to India, allowing Portugal to control the lucrative spice trade. While exact profit figures are difficult to ascertain, it is estimated that the spices he brought back resulted in profits that were many times the initial investment, contributing greatly to Portugal's wealth during the Age of Exploration.
