Yes. He never actually went on any sea voyages, but was a key player in the Age of Exploration because he sponsored many explorers' voyages, including Vasco de Gama and Capain Bill Eanes among others. Many of the voyages he sponsored were very important in the discovery of the new world. Henry also built an observatory and a school of navigation.
