Esmeralda; what a lovely, lyrical name. Here's a link to a Washington Post article on the discovery of one of Vasco da Gama's ill-fated ships off the coast of Oman in the Arabian Sea. The article discusses the discovery by David Mearns salvage company and a preliminary report published in the journal Nautical Archeology. At 500 years, the author says it is the oldest shipwreck discovery from the age of exploration da Gama led. Enjoy!

 

Enjoy!
