The Mahogany Ship

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the catastrophic 1755 Lisbon earthquake, this book explores the mysteries of Portuguese exploration in the East Indies and beyond. It raises provocative questions about secret voyages across the Tordesillas treaty line, including potential early mapping of Australia's east coast and the origins of the Mahogany Ship. The narrative delves into lost records, archaeological discoveries, and the enigmatic Mendonça expedition of 1521, challenging established historical narratives and inviting readers to reconsider the extent of Portugal's maritime legacy.
