Henrique e a Arte de Navegar dos Portuguezes . Commemoração do Centenario Henriquino. Conferencia feita em 19 de Fevereiro de 1894 no Club Militar Naval. Capitão tenente da Armada, lente da Escola Naval. Lisboa: Livraria Férin, 1894. 52 pp.; 345 mm. Vicente Manuel de Moura Coutinho de Almeida d'Eça (1852-1929), a naval officer and professor at the Naval School, was one of the most active disseminators of Portuguese nautical history in the last quarter of the 19th century. In addition to this lecture, he is the author of reference works on the history of Portuguese navigation and cartography. The lecture was delivered at the Naval Military Club on February 19, 1894, as part of the celebrations of the fifth centenary of the birth of Prince Henry the Navigator (1394-1460). The text examines the Prince's role in the systematic organization of maritime expeditions and the development of navigation techniques by the Portuguese, situating his contribution within the broader context of the history of nautical science. A second, revised and expanded edition was published later. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
