His sailing skills, as well as a bit of luck from the storm, had pushed him around the tip of Africa.īelieve it or not, the king was not happy with Dias' trip! He had wanted Dias to find a way to get all the way to India, but, as we know, Dias hit the bottom of Africa and then turned around. When the storm cleared, he had founded the Indian Ocean. During the storm, he decided to point his ships to the south. While on his journey, he got caught up in a storm that lasted two weeks. He brought two large ships with him, as well as a smaller one to carry goods like food.
No one had ever sailed this far south along the African coast before.
