Death of Zheng He
In 1432, the 61 year old Zheng He set out with his largest fleet ever for one final trip around the indian ocean. They sailed all the way to Malindi, on Kenya’s east coast, stopping at trading ports along the way. On the return voyage, as the fleet sailed east from Calicut, Zheng He died, and was buried at sea. He was honoured with a Tomb in Nanjing
