June 1500 CE

Pedro Cabral's battered three-ship squadron reaches the Primeiras Islands, several leagues north of Sofala, on June 16, 1500.

Two local merchant ships, catching sight of Cabral, take flight.

Cabral gives pursuit—one of them runs aground and the other is captured.

Questioning quickly determines that these ships are owned by a cousin of the sultan Fateima of Malindi (who had received Vasco da Gama so graciously back in 1498), so they are released without harm.
