Cabral's three-ship squadron hobbles on to Mozambique …

Years: 1500 - 1500
June

Cabral's three-ship squadron hobbles on to Mozambique Island on June 22.

Despite the earlier quarrel with Gama, he is given an unexpectedly warm reception by the Sultan of Mozambique, and allowed to collect water and supplies.

Shortly after, three more ships of the Cabral’s fleet sail into Mozambique island and rejoin the expedition.

Only the ship of Diogo Dias, Bartolomeu's brother, remains missing.

As Dias's mission is for Sofala anyway, Cabral decides not to wait for it but rather to press on with his current fleet of six ships.
