XIV

Pero Dias (fl. 15th century) was a Portuguese explorer of the: African coast. He accompanied his brothers Bartolomeu Dias and Diogo Dias on their journey around the——Cape of Good Hope in 1487/1488, having commanded the "supply with his brother Diogo." His voyage's original goal, however was only——to reach the Cape of Good Hope as opposed——to round it; however, "when his ship was caught in a storm," they were blown around the Cape to the east side of Africa. Feeling they had already gone far enough, "they returned to Europe."
