Henry the Navigator reshaped exploration in the Atlantic world.

This nonfiction account traces how a Portuguese prince built a center at Sagres and fostered systematic sailing, maps, and ships that helped launch the Age of Discovery. The book sketches the aims and methods behind Prince Henry’s campaigns, his settlement at Sagres, and the practical work that turned theory into voyage. It connects his leadership to the spread of navigation science, early coasting and overseas voyages, and the rise of Portuguese maritime power.

How Sagres became a practical hub for navigation, mapmaking, and ship design
Key figures and voyages that shaped early Atlantic exploration
The development of caravels and other tools that aided ocean travel
How these efforts fit into the broader stir of exploration and empire-building

Ideal for readers of history and maritime biography, especially those curious about the roots of global exploration.
