Summary: "A Journal of the First Voyage of Vasco da Gama, 1497-1499" by Alvaro Velho et al. is a historical account that was likely written in the late 19th century.

It offers a meticulous account of the discoveries and experiences of the expedition, highlighting the significance of this voyage in the context of global exploration and trade. The beginning of this journal sets the stage for Vasco da Gama's voyage, commencing on July 8, 1497, as the fleet departs from Restello, Portugal. It vividly describes the crew's experiences as they navigate the Cape Verde islands and the Southern Atlantic, encountering challenges such as storms, equipment failures, and interactions with indigenous peoples.
