Prince Henry the Navigator, a key figure in the early days of the Portuguese Empire, is credited with founding a sailing school in the early 15th century. Located in Sagres, this school was instrumental in advancing navigation techniques and maritime exploration, helping Portugal lead the way in the Age of Discovery. While the school itself may not have operated in a formal sense, it fostered an environment that encouraged exploration and knowledge sharing among sailors, cartographers, and navigators.
