The Portuguese ships cruise the Red Sea…
May 1513 CE
The Portuguese ships cruise the Red Sea inside the Bab al-Mandab, as the first European fleet to have sailed this route.
Albuquerque attempts to reach Jeddah, but the winds are unfavorable and so shelters at Kamaran island in May, until sickness among the men and lack of fresh water forces a retreat.
