The ''São Gabriel'' was the flagship of Vasco da Gama's armada on his first voyage to India in 1497-1499. ==The other three ships== Velho indicated that the sources agreed that the armada contained four ships, but there was disagreement about the names. These were the other three ships according to him: * The ''São Rafael'': The sister ship of the ''São Gabriel'', built by the same builder at the same time for the same purpose. It was of similar dimensions as the ''São Gabriel''. Paulo da Gama, Vasco's brother, was the captain, other people include João de Coimbra, pilot, and João de Sá, clerk. * The ''Bérrio'', also known as the ''São Miguel'': This caravel was named after its former owner. Only carrying lateen sails, it was the smallest and swiftest of the convoy with a tonnage of 50t-90t. Key people were: Nicolau Coelho, captain, Pedro Escobar pilot, and Álvaro de Braga, clerk. * A supply ship, name ''São Miguel'': The ship was a carrack of about 110 or 200 tons with Gonçalo Nunes as captain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「São Gabriel (ship)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
