Enlarged view of a section of one of the panels of the 1519 Lopo Homem-Reineis Atlas (the Miller Atlas) showing the Gulf of Aden and the south of the Red Sea. The island of Perim ("Majun" on the map, from the Arabic Mayyun) is clearly shown at the junction of the Gulf and the Sea. To the north of Perim one can see the larger island of Kamaran ("Camaran"), that Albuquerque's fleet used as a base for some time after penetrating the Red Sea following its failure to capture Aden in 1513. Aden, a peninsula, is shown as an island, as on many later maps and engravings.
