Podcasts about Vasco da Gama

In kurzer Abfolge hat Nicko Cruises beziehungsweise deren Muttergesellschaft Mystic Ocean die Vasco da Gama seit 2021 jährlich in die Werft geschickt. Im April 2025 war sie wieder bei Lisnave in Portugal und hat dort vor allem technische Upgrades gekommen, die das schon etwas ältere Kreuzfahrtschiff für aktuelle und künftige Umwelt- und Klimaschutz-Vorschriften fit macht. Cruisetricks.de hat die Vasco da Gama in der Werft besucht. In dieser Podcast-Episode sprechen wir über die Modernisierung und Renovierung der Vasco da Gama. Dabei lassen wir auch Nicko-Cruises‘ Geschäftsführer Guide Laukamp zu Wort kommen, der die vielen Neuerungen und Modernisierungsmaßnahmen au der Vasco da Gama erklärt. Landstrom hat das Schiff beispielsweise bekommen – eine wichtige Voraussetzung in zwar noch wenigen, aber immer mehr werdenden Kreuzfahrthäfen der Welt, um dort überhaupt noch anlegen zu dürfen. Für EU- und wahrscheinlich bald auch weltweite IMO-Vorschriften wichtig ist die Fähigkeit von Kreuzfahrtschiffen, mit alternativen, sprich: klimafreundlicheren Treibstoffen fahren zu können. Auch hierfür hat die Vasco da Gama ein wesentliches Upgrade bekommen, über das wir in dieser Podcast-Episode sprechen. Neben technischen Neuerungen hat Nicko Cruises aber auch die bereits bei früheren Werftaufenthalten begonnene Renovierung der öffentlichen Bereiche fortgesetzt, mit teils neuen Möbeln und Teppichen, aufgearbeiteten Holzböden, dem Ersatz der Badewannen in den Kabinen auf Deck 5 durch moderne Duschkabinen beispielsweise. Für mehr Komfort dürfte auch die komplett neue Hydraulik und Steuerung der Stabilisatoren und vor allem der komplette Austausch der Klimaanlagen-Technik sorgen. Letztere hatte zuletzt große Probleme bereitet. Und auch schnelle Starlink-Internet kann die Vasco da Gama jetzt bieten. In der Aftershow sprechen wir über neue Emissionskontroll-Zonen, die von der International Maritime Organization IMO beschlossen wurden beziehungsweise geplant werden und bleiben damit beim Thema Umwelt- und Klimaschutz. Wir sprechen darüber, wo es solche Schutzzonen bislang bereits gibt und wie die neuen ECAs in der kanadischen Arktis und entlang der Küste Norwegens ab 2027 sowie große Bereiche entlang der Küsten im Nordatlantik wahrscheinlich ab 2028 zum Schutz der Meere, der Atmosphäre und der Gesundheit der Menschen entlang der Schifffahrtsrouten beitragen.

European Explorers kicked off globalization during the Age of Discovery as they ventured to find a see route to India and circumnavigate the globe. This was followed by the first wave of globalization from 1870 to 1914. Post WWII, the US led the establishment of a new financial order which culminated in China joining the WTO in December 2001.

Heute vor 500 Jahren starb der portugiesische Seefahrer und Entdecker Vasco da Gama.

1498 erreichten die Portugiesen unter Vasco da Gama das indische Calicut, die „Stadt der Gewürze“, und sicherten sich gewaltsam das Gewürzhandelsmonopol. Es war der Beginn von Handel und Kolonialismus - geprägt von Macht, Glauben und Entdeckerlust. Wessel, Günther www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Lange Nacht

Nottingham Forest go to a Manchester City side who have dominated the Premier League for close to a decade on Wednesday night. It looked a daunting fixture at the start of the season but with Pep Guardiola's side in dire form could Forest inflict further pain? Matt Davies is joined by Pete Blackburn and the Copa Club's Nathan Joyes to discuss the game in full, while we also react to the FA Cup third round draw against Luton Town and Nathan discusses Evangelos Marinakis' bid for Vasco da Gama.

Occidente no bautizó la Era de los Descubrimientos por nada. Los siglos XV y XVI fueron una carrera europea por descubrir (y amortizar) hasta el último rincón del planeta. Si los españoles lograron conocer América gracias a Colón, los portugueses abrieron la ruta a la India, ‘hub' comercial de las especias, gracias a Vasco da Gama. Isabel Margarit y Ana Echeverría revelan el carácter de este navegante firme pero poco sutil.

In dieser Podcast-Episode nehmen wir euch mit auf eine Hochseekreuzfahrt an Bord der Vasco da Gama von Nicko Cruises entlang der mediterranen Highlights von Portugals Norden bis Spaniens Süden – einer faszinierenden Region, die von zahlreichen Völkern geprägt wurde, die über die Jahrhunderte hinweg Einfluss auf die Kultur, Architektur und Geschichte genommen haben. Während die Kreuzfahrtgäste die malerische Küste der iberischen Halbinsel, historische Städte und kulinarische Genüsse erkunden, werfen wir im Gespräch mit Kreuzfahrtdirektor Michael Schuller und Hoteldirektorin Mary Zelenka einen Blick hinter die Kulissen des Bordlebens und auf die Besonderheiten des nur 1000 Passiere fassenden Kreuzfahrtschiffs, das im April 2023 als Schiff des Jahres ausgezeichnet wurde.

Am 9. September 1499 kehrte Vasco da Gama, nachdem er den Seeweg nach Indien entdeckt hatte, nach Lissabon zurück. Dank der maritimen Route entlang der afrikanischen Küste konnte Portugal den Aufstieg zu einer bedeutenden Seefahrernation finanzieren. Wagner, Tilo www.deutschlandfunk.de, Kalenderblatt

Vasco da Gama é lembrado como um dos maiores exploradores da Era dos Descobrimentos. A descoberta da rota marítima para a Índia teve um enorme impacto econômico e político, transformando Portugal em uma potência naval e em um dos maiores centros comerciais do mundo. Ele abriu o caminho para a colonização europeia na Ásia, influenciando profundamente a história mundial. Vasco da Gama é celebrado como um herói nacional em Portugal. Suas viagens foram imortalizadas no épico Os Lusíada, de Luís de Camões. Essa é a nossa história de hoje.

1503 The Portuguese Empire in India faces major head winds. Vasco da Gama underestimates his old rival, the Samudri Raja of Calicut, and nearly pays for it with his life. Yet despite Portuguese resilience, the Samudri and his men prove that they are in it for a fight.    Flash Point History YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTYmTYuan0fSGccYXBxc8cA Contribute on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FPHx Leave some feedback: flashpointhistory@gmail.com Follow along on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FLASHPOINTHX/ Engage on Twitter: https://twitter.com/FlashpointHx

The long-range spice trade began in around 1000 BCE with the movement of cinnamon, and perhaps pepper, from India and Indonesia to Egypt. For the next 1000 years, the Arabs served as the sole middlemen of the spice trade. In 1498, the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama made the first sea voyage from Europe to India, via the southernmost tip of Africa. The mission was driven by a desire to find a direct route to the places where spices were plentiful and cheap, cutting out the middlemen. This marked the start of direct trading between Europe and South East Asia.

1502 Vasco da Gama is placed in charge of the Fourth Portuguese Armada and returns to the Indian Ocean. In his last voyage he came as an explorer - this time he comes as a crusader and brings holy war with him   Flash Point History YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTYmTYuan0fSGccYXBxc8cA Contribute on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FPHx Leave some feedback: flashpointhistory@gmail.com Follow along on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FLASHPOINTHX/ Engage on Twitter: https://twitter.com/FlashpointHx

Do you know what's one of the strangest things in Latin America? The fact that the biggest country in a Spanish-majority region (with a third of the total population in Latin America) speaks a different language: Portuguese. You'd think that somehow, Brazil would have adopted Spanish like their neighbors, but they never did, and even today, it is a minority language among many others. So… why? Why does Brazil speak Portuguese? Basically, it has a lot to do with its origins and how the colonized lands were divided when it came to the Portuguese and Spanish kingdoms, who now had practically full control of the South American continent. …but I won't go into the historic details here. It's better if you watch the fascinating latest episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast, instead! Transcript of this episode is available at: https://podcast.lingomastery.com/listen/1176

Dec 1500 The Portuguese trading outpost in Calicut has been destroyed. In the night a vast mob attacked, razed it, and killed nearly everyone inside. Pedro Cabral orders his ships to bring their canons to bear on the city. Diplomacy has ended and now there is only need for revenge. The Portuguese commander looks back at his men and then shouts the order, " Open Fire!"   Flash Point History YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTYmTYuan0fSGccYXBxc8cA Contribute on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FPHx Leave some feedback: flashpointhistory@gmail.com Follow along on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FLASHPOINTHX/ Engage on Twitter: https://twitter.com/FlashpointHx

August 1498 Vasco Da Gama makes his way north along the Malabar Coast of India. He is on the run. Negotiations have broken down with the King of Calicut - who has deployed a fleet to hunt down the Portuguese. On August 30th the King's men intercepts Vasco's ships. 70 small ships approch and fight is inevitable.    Flash Point History YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTYmTYuan0fSGccYXBxc8cA Contribute on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FPHx Leave some feedback: flashpointhistory@gmail.com Follow along on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FLASHPOINTHX/ Engage on Twitter: https://twitter.com/FlashpointHx

1498 - a Portuguese Fleet of four ships has travelled for nearly a year and now is in the middle of a vast ocean. It has covered a distance of 12,000 miles (half the circumfrence of the Earth). Its crew has suffered malnutition, disease, and hosital encounters. Was it worth it? Suddenly on the eastern horizon something massive is seen. Not just land - but a range of impressive mountains as far as the eye can see. This isn't an island - this is a subcontient.  Flash Point History YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTYmTYuan0fSGccYXBxc8cA Contribute on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FPHx Leave some feedback: flashpointhistory@gmail.com Follow along on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FLASHPOINTHX/ Engage on Twitter: https://twitter.com/FlashpointHx

Welcome to a particularly delicious romp through the history of the Spice trade with my guest, 'television's own' Wayne Wilderson. His IMDB Credits read like a CVS receipt and you'll find he is as effortless on the microphone as he is on camera. 00:04:55 - After telling you a little bit about where we are (and why I'm wearing my daughter's Hello Kitty Headphones) Wayne tells us a little bit about when he came to Hollywood and some of his favorite jobs... and there have been so many. Among his gigs was a 12-year run as the purple grapes in the Fruit of the Loom campaign. 00:07:52 - Wayne and Dawn get into the HILF. 00:08:51 - Dawn Lays out her sources and research:Book: Spice - The History of a Temptation by Jack Turner. Documentary: Absolute History with Kate Humble - Where Peppercorn and Cinnamon come from. Great Article about Magellan: by Steven Robert Carlson 00:11:10 - The plan for this episode is to cover not only the history of cinnamon and the other spices that originated in the same time and place - but also why humanity has been so intrigued by them for so long. 00:14:40 - Let's fuck.00:16:23 - Columbus sails the ocean blue in search of India  and her elusive spices and accidentally bumps into the Bahamas. He has a bad reputation now, but it wasn't much better in his lifetime on account of the total lack of familiar spices in the 'New World.' 00:20:25 - The Pope, in an effort to cool tensions between Spain and Portugal, divides the world between them. The Treaty of Tordesillas established that everything 'non-christian' discovered West belonged to Spain and everything East belonged to Portugal. And thus began the race to see how far East was West and who - in the end - would claim the Spice Islands.  00:21:20 - The Portuguese sailor, Vasco da Gama sets sail South around the Cape of Good Hope and successfully crosses the Indian ocean to arrive in Calcut, India. It's an extraordinary encounter.00:25:58 - The Portuguese in an effort to establish domination over the islands, leave Francisco Serrao as a representative to await their return. He has a string of wild adventures, eventually becoming BFF's and advisor to an Island sultan. He marries and never returns to Portugal... He does however, write a few letters to a guy named Ferdinand Magellan. 00:23:40 - Magellan sets sail on his history-making journey. The books say he circumnavigated the globe, but the details will reveal he - in fact died in the Philippines - and his exhausted, scurvy-laden crew had to hump one leaking boat back to Spain on their own. But, the Spanish still made a profit on the journey so...00:32:18 - The Dutch arrive in the Spice Islands and after pushing the Portuguese and the English out - prove to be brutal overlords. ...But this is not the beginning of the story. It can't be. There was a love and value placed on Spice that inspired all of this exploration and exploitation. In Part II, we take the road even further up the annals of history to the ancients. PART II00:35:33 - Welcome back!00:36:28 - The first known consumer of spice in history did not eat it.  It was Ramses II and he had it shoved up his nose during his mummification. 00:38:45 - The first known myth about cinnamon predated Ramses II - it is the story of the Phoenix who is is resurrected from its ashes. Ashes that were, in the original legend, mixed with cinnamon. 00:40:00 - The Roman's loved spice too much? It is argued that it at least contributed to the Fall the empire. It was because their growing obsession with exotic spices sent a wave of gold East; while what they got in return was primarily burned, and if eaten, supplied no nutritional value. 00:41:43 - When the later European Christians dominated, they at first rejected spices as a uniquely pagan tradition. In later centuries, however, they embraced them and in much the same way, and with much the same results as the Romans. 00:45:18 - Dawn covers the many varied uses and applications for spices over the centuries. From medicine, to ritual, to sex aide. 00:50:00 - Constantine the Great was a sex expert - he literally wrote the book on it - and there are some gems. 00:52:00 - It turns out, however, our timeless obsession with spice - cinnamon in particular - is justified! Dr. Alan R. Hirsch, director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago has proven it!00:54:00 - The various spices pursued during the The Spice Trade fit nicely with the flawed medical wisdom of the time - that of The 4 Humors. It hinged on the idea that the health of a human being was tied to it's balance among being Hot, Cold, Wet and Dry. They were fairly arbitrary delineations that doctors - with both good and bad intensions - exploited for centuries. 00:56:30 - The end of the age, not too surprisingly, coincided with the beginning of one. The French one-armed thief, Peter Poivre, successfully stole cloves from Indonesia and successfully replanted them in France. It was 1776 and nobody cared anymore. 01:00:30 - One might be tempted to say that we as humanity have moved on from the silly ancient obsession with spices - and yet they are key ingredients in both Coca-cola and the top fragrance, Obsession by Calvin Klein... So have we? Thanks, as ever, for listening!We are enjoying an ever-increasing listenership and are so grateful for your ears...
