The colonists for Roanoke came on multiple ships, with the main expedition led by Sir Richard Grenville arriving in 1585. John White later led another group in 1587, which established the ill-fated Roanoke Colony.
The Roanoke Colony's failure is attributed to factors such as lack of adequate supplies, communication breakdown with England, and possible hostilities with Native American tribes. The exact circumstances of its disappearance remain a mystery to this day, with the colony disappearing sometime between 1587 and 1590.
The Roanoke Colony ultimately perished. It is known as the "Lost Colony" because when a supply ship arrived in 1590, all the colonists had disappeared with no explanation. The fate of the colony remains a mystery.
The main problem Roanoke Island faced was the disappearance of its colonists. In 1587, around 115 English settlers arrived on the island to establish a colony, but when a supply ship returned in 1590, all the colonists were gone, with only the word "Croatoan" carved into a post as a clue to their whereabouts. The mystery surrounding the fate of the Roanoke colonists remains unsolved.
The first group of colonists arrived on Roanoke Island in 1585, and the second group arrived in 1587. Therefore, there were two years between the arrival of the two groups of colonists on Roanoke Island.
Raleigh's first colonists, led by John White, landed on Roanoke Island in 1587.

The statement "The second colony on Roanoke Island failed due to poor planning and inadequate provisions" expresses an opinion about the reasons for the failure of the colony.
The Roanoke colonists mysteriously left the Caolinas to never be heard from again. When the ship returned with the colonists supplies there was no one there. The words cro and croatan were left behind in a tree and on a fencepost.
The ship returned months later. They didn't know where to look, what direction the colonists went--or why they left. The message left on the gate was unclear. The disappearance of the Roanoke Colony is probably one of the first, and therefore oldest, unsolved mysteries on what is now US soil.
The colonists relied on Native Americans for food.

Raleigh had financed the colony at Roanoke. When the colony failed, he lost his investment.
The Roanoke Colony is considered a failure as it mysteriously disappeared with no concrete explanation. It was one of the earliest English attempts at establishing a permanent settlement in North America, but due to factors such as dwindling supplies and conflict with Native Americans, the colony ultimately failed.
