colonizationA. PortugalPrince Henry the
Navigator-
Prince Henry 1394-1460• Prince Henry established
a school for the study of navigation, mapmaking, and shipbuilding in 1420.
• His goal was to find a route to the rich spice trade of the Indies and to explore the west coast of Africa.
Prince Henry the NavigatorFinding a Water Route to Asia
Designing New Ships
• The ships of the day were too slow and too heavy to make long ocean voyages.
• Under Prince Henry’s direction, a new and lighter ship was developed, the caravel, which would allow sea captains to sail further and faster.
Caravels
• The caravel was an improvement on older ships because it could sail very fast and also sail well into the wind.
• Caravels had 2 or 3 masts with square sails or triangular sails.
• They were up to about 65 feet long and could carry roughly 130 tons of cargo.
Exploring the Coast of Africa
• During the two-year period from 1444 to 1446, Prince Henry intensified the exploration of Africa, sending between 30 and 40 of his ships on missions.
• The last voyage sponsored by Prince Henry sailed over 1,500 miles down the African coast.
A Lasting Legacy
• Although Prince Henry never sailed on the expeditions, the voyages that he paid for in the mid-1400s helped launch Portugal into the front of the race to find a sea route to the Indies.

The Portuguese may have been the first to seek out the maritime route to Asia, but inadequate finances, the unprecedented novelty of their enterprise, and aggressive competition from other countries made it difficult for the Portuguese to hold on to their advantages.
