Modern Historiography has completely collapsed the idea of a Nautical School founded by Henry the Navigator.
He did founded one village in the southwest Algarve, Sagres, starting in the 1440's, as a convenient strategic point of assistance to navigators. There's absolutely no objective reference from him or his contemporaries to a nautical school.
This legend was probably created in the 1600's and grew in the next two centuries.
