This chapter was about Prince Henry the Navigator.
Prince Henry was very passionate about making the unknown known. He went on a trip to Africa trying to figure out what the bottom part of Africa looked like. This led to him taking back slaves so it wasn't such a good thing. But his map did look better! For one of his expeditions he and a man called Master Jaime designed a new boat that had three triangular sails and could turn into the wind when they needed to come home.
