Vasco da Gama was from Sines, on the southwest coast of Portugal. He was born on 1469. When he was old enough he started to explore India, and he traveled all around. He found many different things,like new maps and treasures. Vasco mostly wanted to explore for trading jewels and spices. So back to the point Vasco da Gama set out in April 1524, with a fleet of fourteen ships and 150 men.
He had three sea voyages and on the first one Vasco left on July 8, 1497, with a fleet of four ships and a crew of 150 men. He did find what he was looking for he was looking for India. and he found it! His biggest accomplishment was that he was the first European explorer to reach India. He was known in some ports he visited in later years as the bringer of cruelty. He didn’t like to hear no for an answer, he enforced some trade decrees with violence.
This is the route of Vasco Da Gama

Top 3 Weirdest Inventions
1. Baby Mop
I think that this is a weird invention because you are using your baby as a mop! You can save lots of time cleaning and let the baby do all the work! All he/she has to do is crawl around all day! How much fun is that?
2. Worlds Largest Gummy Bear
3. Dog Toilet Water Bowl
The dog toilet water bowl is weird because if you want your dog to drink out of a toilet then why not just let him because this will just teach him that it is ok to drink out of a toilet.

2. Worlds Largest Gummy Bear
I think this is weird because who would eat all of this without getting sick? This five-pound gummy bear is equal to 1400 regular-sized bears. I am sure that a five-pound bag of gummy bears is going to be allot cheaper than this big gummy bear. An average five-pound bag of gummy bears only cost $14.47 and this five-pound gummy bear cost up to $35.00! If you want to save some money than get the five-pound bag of gummy bears.
