PORTUGUESE CARRACK – 1507

Portuguese ships arrived in the Indian Ocean in 1498, looking for a sea route to the silks and spices of the East. The Portuguese took over many of the existing routes, and controlled the Indian Ocean trade through force of arms: 'In this city the stench of death is such that I dare not enter it', wrote the Sultan of Mombasa after a Portuguese attack.
