The King Who Vanished with 2,000 Ships

The King Who Vanished with 2,000 Ships

In 1311, one of the world’s most powerful rulers abandoned his throne and all his riches. He set sail into the Atlantic with a fleet of 2,000 ships. He disappeared without a trace—and this dramatic escape wasn’t even his first attempt.

A practical next step might be to survey 14th-century port registries and coastal chronicles for any hint of such a massive fleet departing.
