Henry the Navigator

the world came to contribute knowledge .

Prince Henry himself did not travel far from Portugal but he was an instrumental figure in early European exploration of the seas. He organized/funded many naval expeditions along the African coast. His explorers "rediscovered" much of the Atlantic coast of Africa and Islands that were earlier visited by the Carthaginian explorer Hanno the Navigator nearly 2000 years earlier (circa 500 BC). His explorers travelled as far as what is now Sierra Leone and landed on many islands including the Azores and the Cape Verde Achapegalo. This layed the frame work for the Portuguese Maritime Empire, circumnavigation of Africa and expansion into India in the last decade 15th century.

No. Henry the Navigator was a Portuguese Prince.

Not to anyone's particular knowledge. His existence was so long ago and his role in history was so insignificant no one quoted him.

A navigator is the person who is responsible for position tracking and navigation of a map in a traveling party.

With Henry's support, Portuguese explorers travelled down the west coast of Africa. But they did not reach the Cape of Good Hope until 1498, 38 years after Henry's death.

Voyages of discovery

He contributed to the society because he showed that traveling by ship would be possible because Portugal wanted to find an all water route to Asia without using the silk road.

did janszoon have any children and a wife

He launched the first great Europeans voyages of exploration.

Prince Henry was often referred to as the Navigator as he was a patron of explorers. He lived before the development of the American Colonies.

Henry the Navigator was a Portuguese prince. He helped expand Portuguese trade routes, and established trade primarily with Africa. Henry's nickname of 'the navigator' was bestowed upon him in the 1800s by historians, around 400 years after his death.

Henry was a prince, there was no reason for him to, he was very rich. Henry also was busy ruling Portugal so he didn't have any time. He had responsibilities, such as taking care of the businesses in Portugal.
