About this product

Product Information

This book is part of the Exploration Through the Ages series which tells the stories of important voyages of discovery. The books describe challenges and hardships faced by those who set out to discover new lands, new ocean passages, to open up new trade routes or to win fame or fortune. This particular book looks at the voyages of Vasco da Gama, explaining how this Portuguese explorer made the first epoch-making sea voyage around Africa to discover the trading riches of India. The illustrations and text vividly portray the dramatic life he led, his achievements and his struggles, ending with his death in Cochin, India where he was Viceroy and Admiral of India. This book supports Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum where it focuses on history and exploration from 1450 to 1550.
