A shipwreck from a flotilla of Vasco Da Gama was found off the coast of the UAE

ARCHAEOLOGISTS ANNOUNCED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PLACE FOR A SHIP CRUSBLE OF A SHIP FROM THE FLOTILIA OF VASKO YES GAMA.

It is alleged that the ship sank in the 16th century off the coast of modern Arab Emirates and Oman. Photos published by Blue Water Recoveries confirm the fact that the ship, which sank off the coast of modern Oman and the United Arab Emirates, really belonged to the fleet of the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama. The shipwreck occurred in 1503. The results of archaeological research were published in the journal Nautical Archeology. The photograph shows a rare silver indio coin found among the wreckage.

Based on this, it was concluded that the sunken ship bore the name Esmeralda, was part of the Vasco Da Gama fleet and crashed during a severe storm in May 1503 off the coast of A1 Island Hallaniyah. Ayub Al Busaidi, the head of underwater archeology at the Ministry of Heritage and Culture of Oman, noted that the latest discovery shows the rich history of the country's international trade.
