The sixth armada, crossing the Indian Ocean …
Years: 1504 - 1504
August
The sixth armada, crossing the Indian Ocean under the command of Lopo Soares de Albergaria, arrives at Anjadip Island, where they find two Portuguese ships repairing: those of António de Saldanha and Rui Lourenço Ravasco.
They had been part of the third squadron of the previous year's armada.
They relate their stoy of becoming lost and separated in Africa, the winter season spent harassing East African ports and Red Sea shipping, and being only able to undertake their Indian Ocean crossing this summer.
They have no idea of the whereabouts of the third ship of their squadron, that of Diogo Fernandes Pereira, having lost track of it nearly a year ago. (As it happens, Diogo Fernandes Pereira had wintered in Socotra by himself and undertaken a solo crossing to India earlier that Spring, arriving in Cochin just in time to help Duarte Pacheco fend off the assaults of the Zamorin.)
