Portable oak wood altar, painted red. According to tradition, this altar accompanied Vasco da Gama on board the "Sao Gabriel" on the maiden voyage to India in 1497. However, it is very similar to the portable altars commonly used in church services on board the so-called Portuguese Indiamen (merchant ships that operated for the East India Company). Maritime Museum. Lisbon, Portugal.
