Walter Raleigh
He got there because he was cool
Sir Walter Raleigh is predominantly known for exploring The Americas ie. he sailed West from England. The key aspects of his travels are: 1578 - Sir Walter Raleigh sails with his half brother, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, in the "The Falcon" to America. 25 March 1584 - Walter Raleigh receives the patent to explore and settle in North America. 1584 - Sir Walter Raleigh's fleet of seven vessels under Richard Grenville and Ralph Lane, with 108 men, reach Roanoke Island and establish a colony on 4 June 1584. 6 February 1595 - Sir Walter Raleigh leaves England to sail to the New World to search for the city of El Dorado (the City of Gold). 1595 - Sir Walter Raleigh explores the Orinoco. 1616 - Raleigh travels to Guiana, but his mission fails and he attacks a Spanish settlement (for which he was beheaded in 1618).
The Roanoke settlement was funded primarily by a group of investors known as the "Adventurers of Roanoke," who were led by Sir Walter Raleigh. However, the exact sources of funding for the expedition are not well-documented. Some of the funding also came from private individuals and the English Crown.

Raleigh planned in 1584 to colonize for England in the present day Virginia and North Carolina. It however was not successful when the plan failed at Roanoke Island. In 1587, he went for a second expedition back to Roanoke, which failed also. 1594, Raleigh heard of a "City of Gold" in South America and went to find it. He published an exaggerated account of his experiances which led to the legend of El Dorado. 1616, was released from the Tower to conduct a second travel out to El Dorado.
The colonists attempted to settle again on Roanoke Island in order to establish an English presence in the New World and to potentially find valuable resources that could benefit England economically. Additionally, they may have been motivated by the hope of establishing a successful colony that could provide opportunities for English settlers seeking a new life in America.
