2 View of a New Land: The Coruripe Terra a Vista!
Surprisingly, the Portuguese Caravel showed up at the Brazilian Beach of Coruripe, state of Alagoas (check Google maps). Coruripe means Rio dos Sapos, River of Frogs according to a native Caete language.
The Portuguese, however, did not land in Coruripe. Smart sailors. Shipwrecks occurred at this place soon after their View of the Land, the first official, Portuguese Terra a Vista of this new territory.
Sail away, the 1500 spice dealers decided not to land around these dangerous rocks.
Nowadays caravels are not available for us, modern people. Should we get a local fishing boat like a jangada?
Jangada is a flat boat with a significant area to carry the fished fish. It has regular seats for the fishermen. A jangada may handle the local storms better than a caravel. It is also much easier and cheaper to construct a jangada rather than a caravel.
Nevertheless, any boat travelling North from Coruripe would eventually reach the classical Pipa landmark.
