Talk:Gil Eanes

Two Things

Does anyone know when he was born?

Can someone provide a different pronunciation for those of us not firmiliar with the IPA.

I'll try: Gil (the G is like the "j" in French word "je"); Eanes (Yah-nesh; the "a" is like the "u" in fun; the "e" is like the French word "que"). Joaopais 02:41, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

The Gil Eanes appears in a 1975 color motion picture

Documentary color film footage from summer or autumn of 1975 appears to show the Gil Eanes underway at sea, aiding in the evacuation of Portuguese Angolans from soon-to-be independent Angola. The footage, in the form of a Flash movie, is at http://meusescapes.blogspot.com/2008/05/angola-minha-terra-momentos-de-grandes.html#!/tcmbck , and the ship first appears at about minute 14:00.

Maps.

There is a lack of maps in this article, especially with there being a pre-made one in the Portuguese version. at minimum that map should be brought over to the English article but if possible the map could be translated. Dahak177 (talk) 20:42, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
