To teach children and young adults to sail at a younger age so that they know what to do do once they get old enough to sail the world and discover places for Portuguese control.also he wanted people to learn the knowledge it took to sail across sea. and so they could discover + create new technology such as compasses

His school was set up on the south-western tip of Portugal
Prince Henry the Navigator was fascinated by the sea and exploration of the oceans. He sent about 30 expeditions along the coast of Africa to buy gold and slaves. Under his rule, Portugal colonized Madeira and the Azores. He set up a kind of exploration "think tank" where mariners would go and share their voyages with mapmakers, scholars, and ship builders. The men who gathered at Sagres also did research and development to aid exploration of the seas and to improve ships and sailing. It was like a university for mariners and all those associated with navigation of the seas. Nevermind just joking
Somewhere around 1418. Hope that this was a little helpful. I don't know the exact date/year.
Henry the Navigator (a strange name really for a man who never set foot on a ship to sail the oceans) basically had three goals for the expeditions he sent out: converting the peoples of Africa to Christianity, finding gold, and finding a way around the overland trade routes controlled by the Muslims of north Africa.
Prince Henry the navigator set out to found a school of navigation and go around the horn of Africa.
