Vasco da Gama sailed in the late 15th century, with his most notable voyage beginning in 1497. He was commissioned by King Manuel I of Portugal to find a sea route to India, aiming to establish direct trade links for spices and other valuable goods. This expedition ultimately led to the opening of maritime trade between Europe and Asia. Da Gama's successful navigation around the Cape of Good Hope marked a significant milestone in the Age of Exploration.
