the world came to contribute knowledge .
Prince Henry himself did not travel far from Portugal but he was an instrumental figure in early European exploration of the seas. He organized/funded many naval expeditions along the African coast. His explorers "rediscovered" much of the Atlantic coast of Africa and Islands that were earlier visited by the Carthaginian explorer Hanno the Navigator nearly 2000 years earlier (circa 500 BC). His explorers travelled as far as what is now Sierra Leone and landed on many islands including the Azores and the Cape Verde Achapegalo. This layed the frame work for the Portuguese Maritime Empire, circumnavigation of Africa and expansion into India in the last decade 15th century.
hahahhahahhah you wont find the answer here . this is a waste of time.hahahh you thought the answer will be here.hahahhah
He is famous for sponsoring voyages of exploration to Asia & Portuguese explorers were the first to sail to Africa's Gambia river because of prince Henry.
It seems he never navigated
if their main religon wasn't christianity he would treat them violently because he belived everyone should be Christian
Not that I have ever read. He had the school for navigation and was more interested in maps than slaves.
The previous answer was innapropriate but since i dont know the actual answer im hoping somone can help out. Sorry:(
sent men across the west coast of Africa to find faster trade routes.
well he was a prince so i would think any thing that a a good prince would have in comman
Not to anyone's particular knowledge. His existence was so long ago and his role in history was so insignificant no one quoted him.
A navigator is the person who is responsible for position tracking and navigation of a map in a traveling party.
With Henry's support, Portuguese explorers travelled down the west coast of Africa. But they did not reach the Cape of Good Hope until 1498, 38 years after Henry's death.
He contributed to the society because he showed that traveling by ship would be possible because Portugal wanted to find an all water route to Asia without using the silk road.
He launched the first great Europeans voyages of exploration.
