Pilot of Ships of Vasco Da Gama
Consider the legendary voyage of Vasco da Gama in 1498. While Gama took 290 arduous, casualty-ridden days to sail from Lisbon to Malindi on Africa’s eastern coast, a Gujarati sailor (a Nakhuda) guided him from Malindi to Calicut in only 23 days without any further damage. This master mariner cut through the complexities of the Arabian Sea, guiding Gama’s ships the rest of the way to Calicut in a mere 23 days, without a single loss.
It is a heritage where the spirit of enterprise and the call of the sea proved mightier than any political divisions of Pakistan, India or religious silos of Hindu and Muslim.
