The wreckage of a ship discovered off the coast of Kenya may have been from legendary explorer Vasco da Gama’s final voyage across the Indian Ocean, archaeologists say in a new study.
Researchers say the ship, discovered in 2013 in waters off a Kenyan coastal town, is a Portuguese vessel and may have been Da Gama’s Sao Jorge, which sank in 1524 – the year the famed explorer died in India, likely from malaria.
