Prince Henry of Portugal earned the nickname "the Navigator" due to his pivotal role in promoting maritime exploration during the early 15th century. Although he did not personally embark on voyages, he established a school for navigators in Sagres, where advancements in navigation, cartography, and shipbuilding were made. His support for expeditions along the West African coast significantly contributed to Portugal's exploration efforts and the Age of Discovery.
