Henry the Navigator (a strange name really for a man who never set foot on a ship to sail the oceans) basically had three goals for the expeditions he sent out: converting the peoples of Africa to Christianity, finding gold, and finding a way around the overland trade routes controlled by the Muslims of north Africa.

Prince Henry traveled to areas of western Africa and he also traveled to islands in the Atlantic Ocean. He was a navigator and explorer for Portugal.

He was a Portuguese prince who patronized seamen voyaging down the waest coast of Africa (as south as Cape Verde). He wanted to find a new route to the Indies. He established a school of navigation (the first and best) where navigation, astronomy, and cartography were taught. He also constructed the first observatory.
