On Saturday, scholars like Lotika Varadrajan, Manuel Joao Ramos, Alok Tripathy, Paul Lunde and Vishwarao Sonawane discussed aspects of Gujarat's maritime history. It is high time we studied this," says historian Makrand Mehta, who will address the conference on Sunday. Another way of crossing the river is by taking the ferry. This biography of Vasco da Gama not only presents the life of this famous Portuguese navigator but also describes his impact on world events during the 16th. The foundations for a third bridge across the Tagus have already been laid, but the overall project has been postponed due to the economic crisis in Portugal and all of Europe. "Malam's role in the Vasco expedition has largely been overlooked by historians. The Vasco da Gama Bridge, inaugurated in May 1998 is, at 17.2 km (10.7 mi), the longest bridge in Europe. Salvadori has made this observation in her 'We Came In Dhows', an account written after interacting with people in Gujarat. Italian researcher Sinthia Salvadori too has concluded that it was Malam who showed Gama the way to India. German author Justus says it was Malam who accompanied Vasco. Some historians suggest Majid could not have been near the vicinity at the time. Vasco da Gamas first voyage was paid for and outfitted by the royal Portuguese treasury under King Manuel I.

At Malindi, Gama's crew roped in a pilot who could guide the expedition to Calicut.

Scholars and research institutes from France, Portugal, China, Singapore and Sri Lanka are taking part in the event. Malam hailed from Mandvi, a ship-building hub, where a three-day maritime conference 'Gujarat and the sea' is in progress. Historians and scholars gathered at Gujarat's port town Mandvi are discussing how a Kutchi sailor, Kanji Malam, navigated the commander to Calicut from Malindi on east African coast.
