Diego Dias was the 15th century Portuguese explorer who discovered Madagascar, in 1500. His ship became separated from the fleet of Pedro Alvares Cabral [c. 1468-c. 1520] as the ships rounded the subsequent Cape of Good Hope off southernmost Africa. Dias named the island where he ended up after St. Lawrence [c. 225-258], whose official feast of August 10th was celebrated on that day. In that same crossing, the ship of Dias' brother, famous explorer and navigator Bartolomeu Dias [c. 1451-May 29, 1500], was lost in a storm.
