The Third Armada arrives at Mozambique Island…

July 1501 CE

The Third Armada arrives at Mozambique Island in mid-July.

Juan de Nova, discarding his instructions, decides against dispatching Novais's ship to Sofala.

Contemplating the new hostile state of affairs in India, Nova has probably concluded that he needs to take all the men he has in case of a military engagement in India.

He sets sail up the East African coast soon after.

It is possibly now that Nova discovers what has since been called Juan de Nova Island in the Mozambique Channel and possibly also the Farquhar atoll (part of the Seychelles, will also be named 'João da Nova islands' until the nineteenth century.
