Prince Henry the Navigator's ships were called caravels. They were light, fast, and very maneuverable. They were used mostly as coastal vessels, but could navigate into the open sea.
Prince Henry was not credited with any discovery. He managed and sent many exploratory ships to Africa and designed many maps.
Henry the Navigator sent ships to the Madeira Islands, around the dangerous Cape Bojador to Cape Blanc and Cap Vert. Thanks to his studies, the ships also went to the Gambia River and Cape Palmas.
