sir water Rayleigh did cause he was an adventurer
Roanoke Island was discovered by English explorers in 1584.
Raleigh's first colonists, led by John White, landed on Roanoke Island in 1587.
The Roanoke voyage was sponsored by England. Queen Elizabeth I gave permission to Sir Walter Raleigh to organize the expedition in 1584.
Sir Walter Ralegh organized the first two attempts, in 1584 and 1585 respectively, but by the time the third colony, which consisted of men, women, and boys, was organized Ralegh had sold his interests to others. The Governor of the 1587 colony was John White.
Ralegh never accompanied any of the Roanoke voyages. In 1584 Ralegh and his investors sent two barks under the command of Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe to discover a suitable place for establishing a military bastion in the New World. The explorers found what they considered to be an ideal location--Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. In 1585 Ralegh and his backers sent a colony of 108 men to establish a military settlement on Roanoke Island. In 1587 a group of men, women and boys under the leadership of John White left England to plant a colony on the Chesapeake. They were put off at Roanoke Island. Ralegh's personal interest in this colony was restricted to the use of his name for the settlement. He assisted in the organization of the voyage, and certainly used his influence to facilitate matters, but that was the extent of his interest in the 1587 voyage. This colony became known as the lost colony. Ralegh never came to North America.

July 1584
Elizabeth became queen in 1558 and the first Roanoke voyage was in 1584.
The Roanoke voyage was sponsored by England. Queen Elizabeth I gave permission to Sir Walter Raleigh to organize the expedition in 1584.

The first voyage in 1584 refers to Sir Walter Raleigh's expedition to the New World, which aimed to establish an English colony in North America. This expedition led to the exploration of the coastal regions of present-day North Carolina and the establishment of the Roanoke Colony. The voyage was notable for the introduction of the term "Virginia" to describe the area and for its encounters with Indigenous peoples. Despite the initial enthusiasm, the Roanoke Colony ultimately faced challenges and disappeared, becoming known as the "Lost Colony."

Ralegh never accompanied any of the Roanoke voyages. In 1584 Ralegh and his investors sent two barks under the command of Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe to discover a suitable place for establishing a military bastion in the New World.

This colony became known as the lost colony. Ralegh never came to North America.
Walter Raleigh received the charter for the Roanoke colony in 1584 from Queen Elizabeth I of England.
Sir Walter Raleigh traveled to America in 1584 when he sponsored an expedition to explore and colonize the New World. This expedition led to the establishment of the Roanoke Colony in present-day North Carolina, although Raleigh himself did not participate in the voyage. His efforts marked one of the first attempts at English colonization in America.
He did not discover North Carolina. He and others sponsored and organized two voyages to Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. These were in 1584 and 1585. In 1587 a third voyage took place but Ralegh had little to do with that expedition. The 1587 colony became known as "the lost colony". Ralegh did not accompany any of the voyages. He never came to Roanoke Island.
