Diaz was also one of the captains and sailors of the second Indian expedition, lead by Pedro Alvares Cabral. On the 14th of May of 1500, when the expedition reached the Cape of Good Hope, a terrible storm made four ships of the fleet sink, in one of which Dias travelled. All the sailors died, including Bartolomeu Diaz. During this expedition, the objective of which India was, the fleet had also suffered a deviation which had made it arrive at the coast of Brazil. It is not konwn if this was an accident or Cabral's intention was, in fact, visiting the American lands which had been asigned to Portugal by the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494).
