Henry
The Portuguese ‘Henry the Navigator’ provided money and ships. 

One of these went on a voyage of discovery past Bojador in 1434.
Eight years later, they found gold on the Gold Coast, Ghana and founded fort Elmina (Figure 35).
This was the beginning of European expansion, the extension of European influence across the world.
Na het veroveren van de havenstad Ceuta kon Hendrik de Zeevaarder doorvaren richting het zuiden. In 1434 reist hij voorbij de 'Bojador' een plek waar nog nooit voorbij was gevaren, 'waarschijnlijk door zeemonsters of kookend water'
