Vasco da Gama's Voyage to India (1497-1499)

In the dusky twilight of the 15th century, a fleet helmed by Vasco da Gama embarked on a voyage that would weave through the mists of the unknown, driven by the lure of the opulent spice markets of Asia. Our narrative sails alongside his ships as they challenge the tempestuous seas, charting a course that is as much about discovering new worlds as it is about confronting human ambition and endurance. Each wave and starry night brings us closer to understanding the profound shifts brought about by these early global voyages. Join us as we drift into the serene yet stirring tales of maritime exploration and encounter the dawn that reshaped the world. This episode is hosted by Abigail Johnson.
