Prince Henry started school for navigators to reached north America?

Answer 1

Prince Henry absolutely did not establish a school in Portugal to reach North America. The simplest reason why not is that nobody knew that North America existed. Most people at his time thought that the world was composed of THREE parts, Africa, Asia and Europe. Took a while for some people to even accept that North America WAS a forth part, Columbus himself, to his dying day never thought that he had reached a New World. No, Prince Henry established a Navigator school to help sailors go around Africa and reach the East that way.

Answer 2

Prince Henry of Portugal, also known as Henry the Navigator, did not personally start a school for navigators. However, he did establish a center for exploration and navigation in Sagres, Portugal, where he supported expeditions and sponsored navigational research that ultimately contributed to the Age of Discovery and the exploration of new lands, including North America by other explorers who followed his legacy.
