Sao Cristovao (Saint Christopher) (la Nina was Christopher Columbus's)
Did Bartolomeu Dias grow up with his father and brothers?
That information may be available in an archive in Portugal. It isn't available as information passed down through generations of a family. For the direct line from Bartolomeu Dias [c. 1450-May 29, 1500] went extinct with the navigator's great grandchildren, Dona Paula de Novais and Dona Violante de Castro, neither of whom married or had children. Neither can any indication of trouble be found in what's known of the navigator's life. For Portuguese historians describe Dias as the descendant of a seafaring line. And Pero Dias is identified as Bartolomeu's brother, and commander of the supply ship for Bartolomeu's expedition of 1487-1488 around the Cape of Good Hope, off the coast of modern South Africa. Diogo Dias aka Diogo Gomes [c. 1420-c.1485] is identified as another brother, who participated in the discovery of the Cape Verde Islands. But Diogo was about 30 years older than Bartolomeu. So he may have been the navigator's father, or a relative other than in the direct, nuclear family. So the information would indicate that Bartolomeu Dias got along well enough with his family to be able to follow the same line of work, and have them in close quarters, as in the case of Pero holding down the critical role of supply ship commander.

This crew was responsible for navigating the treacherous waters around the southern tip of Africa, ultimately reaching the Cape of Good Hope.

Bartolomeu dias ships?
He commanded a fleet of three ships , his own "São Cristóvão," the "São Pantaleão" under his associate João Infante, and a supply ship under Dias' brother at the time that they first rounded the cape of good hope.
What would Bartolomeu Dias look like today?
Today, he would look just like he did then, only very much older. Bartolomeu Dias [c. 1450-May 29, 1500] was a member of a noble family. This membership made him eligible for residency, and education, at the Royal Court of Lisbon. And so Dias had access to all the privileges of elite socio-economic status and education. Portuguese historians have suggested that Dias was descended from a line of seafarers. They also have suggested that he was related to Dinis Diaz and Joao Dias, both of whom distinguished themselves in explorations off the coasts of Senegal and Morocco, respectively. And they have identified him as brother to Pero Dias, and to Diogo Dias aka Diogo Gomes [c. 1420-c. 1485]. The former distinguished himself as commander of the supply ship for Bartolomeu's expedition of 1487-1488 around the modern Cape of Good Hope, off the coast of South Africa. The latter distinguished himself in the discovery of the Cape Verde Islands, some decades before Bartolomeu's birth. With a 30 year difference between the ages of the two, Diogo may have been Bartolomeu's father, or uncle, instead of his brother. Dias applied his cutting-edge training in mathematical, observational and scientific skills to the pursuit of a navigational career. To excel at that career, and to be considered for the prize responsibilities, Dias also would have had to be known for physical prowess and social skills. And so nowadays, to my way of thinking, Bartolomeu Dias most likely would have the looks of an Olympic athlete, the commitment of an environmentalist, and the brains of a scientist. Therefore, I would imagine him on the order of Philippe Cousteau [December 30, 1940-June 28, 1979], who likewise met most courageously a tragic death in the watery realm that he so loved.
How would you complete a sentence that began with the phrase 'Why did Bartolomeu Dias'?
Why did Bartolomeu Dias go from receiving the critical responsibility as sole leader of the first successful expedition around southernmost Africa in 1487-1488; to carrying out far more subordinate responsibilities as shipbuilding supervisor to Vasco da Gama in 1497, and as one of 13 ship captains to Pedro Alvares Cabral in 1500?
