WHERE AM I?

Vasco da Gama (1460-1524) was a Portuguese explorer who discovered an ocean route from Portugal to the East. He was born to a noble family in Sines, Portugal. Vasco da Gama sailed from Lisbon, Portugal, on July 8, 1497, heading to the East. At the time, many people thought that da Gama's trip would be impossible because it was assumed that the Indian Ocean was not connected to any other seas. Da Gama's patron was King Manuel I of Portugal.
