The Portuguese were among the first Europeans to explore the seas beyond Europe. Henry the Navigator urged his father, King John I, to conquer the port of Ceuta in Northern Africa. He also sponsored the development of the Caravel, a sailing ship that is lighter and faster than most ships at that time. Use of caravels enabled sailors to travel further and with more provisions, and the light draft enabled Portuguese sailors to explore shallow rivers and waters. He also sponsored explorations to Madeira, Azores, and West Coast of Africa.

The early steps in exploration did the Portuguese take under Prince Henry’s sponsorship are European and Africa maritime-trade expansion.

EXPLANATION  

 Infante D. Henrique a Duke of Viseu (Prince Henry the Navigator) for the period of March 4, 1394 - November 13, 1460, was a vital public role in the early days of the Portuguese Empire. He was very enthusiastic about European maritime expansion. Through his enthusiasm, he was considered the main initiator of what is known as the Age of Discovery. Henry was the fourth child of the Portuguese king John I, known as the construction of the House of Aviz.

Henry initiated Portuguese exploration into various regions. In addition, he opened a maritime trade tap with other continents through the systematic exploration of West Africa and the islands of the Atlantic Ocean. The opening of the trade tap also aims to find new routes. In 1415, he promoted his father to occupy Ceuta which was a Muslim port on the coast of North Africa. He also studied the business opportunities offered by the Sahara trade route.  

In fact, he became fascinated with Africa. He was most interested in expanding the Portuguese trade and admiring the Christian legend Prester John. He is considered a Portuguese explorer.
