Flor de la Mar or Flor do Mar (Flower of the Sea), often spelled Frol de la Mar, was a Portuguese nau (carrack) of 400 tons, which over nine years participated in decisive events in the Indian Ocean until her sinking in November 1511. Nobelman Afonso de Albuquerque was returning from the conquest of Malacca, bringing with him a large treasure trove for the Portuguese king, when the ship was lost off the coast of Sumatra. A replica of the Flor de la Mar is housed in the Maritime Museum in Malacca.
