In my opinion Bartolomeu was a good man. I think this because he grew up to help the people of Europe, and help make a new route to get items and to make a new family. I think that Bartolomeu had an interesting and educational life.

Bartolomeu was born 1450 in Algarve, Portugal and he died in 1500 at the cape of good hope. He had 2 siblings and 2 children. His siblings were Diogo Dias and Pero Dias. His children were Antonio Dias and Samao Dias. He had only 1 job in his early years and that was a sailor. In his later years he opened a gold trade.

The man who sent Bartolomeu was King Manuel the 1st of Portugal. The King sent him in the court of Joao The 2nd in 1486. He was sent in the ship Sao Cristovao. The purpose of Bartolomeu being sent was to get spices from Asia. In the process of doing so, he opened a sea route from Europe to Asia. We still use that sea route today to get spices from Asia.

All of Bartolomeu’s discoveries are The Cape of Good Hope, Elmina Castle, The Waluis Bay, Ocean Gyre, Mossel Bay, Kwaaihoek, The Passage Around Southern Africa and that's all!

The life of Bartolomeu Dias was an interesting story, and he had an impact on Europe. He made some discoveries and people settled in some of them. He was good man and he made an impact on everyone, including me (Not much as other people though). He opened routes, discovered new settlements, and even had a family. In conclusion Bartolomeu had a good life and we thank him to this day for what he has done for us.
