点评:The Maritime Dias Museum is located at the sea side of Mossel Bay and is dedicted to Bartolomeu Dias (1450), the Portuguese explorer who became the first European navigator to round the southern tip of Africa. The museum houses a life-size replica of the Caravel that was used by Bartolomeu Dias when he landed in Mossel Baai in AD 1488 and depicts Portuguese maritime history and their connection with Dutch explorers. The ship was built in Portugal and sailed to Mossel Bay in 1988 for the 500-year commemoration of Dias’s voyage. The museum has a granary built by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in 1788 and the oldest African post office. In 1500 a ship, part of Cabral’s third fleet, became separated along the east African coast, landed for water at present-day Mossel Bay and left a letter in a sailor’s shoe tied to a tree here. It served as connection and communication. Just like the thorn tree in Nairobi in the 19-fifties.
翻译:迪亚士海事博物馆位于莫塞尔湾海边,纪念第一位绕过非洲南端的欧洲航海家——葡萄牙探险家巴尔托洛梅乌·迪亚士(1450)。博物馆内收藏着一艘与原船大小相同的卡拉维尔帆船复制品,这艘帆船是巴尔托洛梅乌·迪亚士于公元1488年登陆莫塞尔湾时所驾驶的。博物馆还展示了葡萄牙的航海历史以及他们与荷兰探险家的联系。这艘船在葡萄牙建造,并于1988年驶往莫塞尔湾,以纪念迪亚士航行500周年。博物馆内还有一座由荷兰东印度公司(VOC)于1788年建造的粮仓和非洲最古老的邮局。1500年,一艘属于卡布拉尔第三舰队的船只在东非海岸失联,在如今的莫塞尔湾靠岸取水,并将一封信放在水手的鞋子里,绑在一棵树上。这封信充当了当时人们的联系和交流。就像二十世纪五十年代内罗毕的那棵荆棘树一样。
