He died off the shore at the Cape of Good Hope when his vessel was wrecked in a storm.AnswerOn the return of Vasco da Gama, Manuel dispatched a fleet of 13 vessels under Pedro álvares Cabral to the Indian Ocean to profit by the discoveries. In the fleet were 4 caravels under Bartolomeu Dias, who was instructed to found a trading station and fortress at the gold-exporting port of Sofala. The expedition left Brazil on May 2, 1500. On May 12 a comet came into view, "a prognostication of the sad event that was to take place," the Portuguese chronicler João de Barros remarked. The comet disappeared on May 23. The next day a sudden storm over whelmed 4 ships, which sank with all hands; among those lost was Dias.Source: http://www.answers.com/Bartholomew+Dias?gwp=11&ver=2.3.0.609&method=3

To the dignitaries on Dias, and all my friends. Every special moment comes to an end and this occasion is not an exception. We rejoin to part and take home the memories of the time we have spent in our institution. Every day has a night to assure that it will return again. This is the time when we say that. Though your part in our institution is over, your memories and your dedications will always remain pristine. We thank all the dignitaries for giving us their precious time, and all our outgoing friends who accepted our invitation and made this a memorable occasion.
