Somewhere around 1418. Hope that this was a little helpful. I don't know the exact date/year.
Prince Henry the navigator set out to found a school of navigation and go around the horn of Africa.
He sponsored voyages to the Maderia Islands and the Western Coast of Africa. The farthest that Henry's ships ever got was Sierra Leone.

Madrid
His school was set up on the south-western tip of Portugal
Because his willy tip said so
Yes he did (it's my school bro!), it's The King's School in Ottery St Mary, Devon (England) NOT LYING.
The portugues nobleman who set up a school for sailors was Prince Henry. If this question was asked by a seventh grader in St. Gabe's , then it's me, AlYsSSSaA CrUURUZ.
Getting known is hard. Getting sponsored is even harder but, just being able to kickflip a set can get you sponsored. You just have to be seen by the right people. good luck.
Prince Henry the Navigator was fascinated by the sea and exploration of the oceans. He sent about 30 expeditions along the coast of Africa to buy gold and slaves. Under his rule, Portugal colonized Madeira and the Azores. He set up a kind of exploration "think tank" where mariners would go and share their voyages with mapmakers, scholars, and ship builders. The men who gathered at Sagres also did research and development to aid exploration of the seas and to improve ships and sailing. It was like a university for mariners and all those associated with navigation of the seas. Nevermind just joking
