Prince Henry's School of Navigation

Not much of it remains anymore...a much newer castle, chapels, battlements, but it is still an interesting place to visit.
Driving up to the fortress/visitor center







Cape San Vicente (Promontorium Sacrum, the Romans called it)
in the distance...even wilder wind and wave








I don't think they bought this one at Pier 1









This item does remain from the school, although no one knows
what it was for: wind compass? sun dial?









An interesting and apparently aged device up on the battlements
