The scientist on the Roanoke voyages was Thomas Harriot. He was an English mathematician, astronomer, and ethnographer who accompanied Sir Walter Raleigh's expeditions to the New World in the late 16th century. Harriot is known for his detailed observations of the indigenous peoples and their culture, as well as for his contributions to early American ethnography. His work included the documentation of the Virginia colony's flora, fauna, and geography.

The 1587 colony became known as "the lost colony". All three Roanoke voyages landed at Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. Ralegh did not accompany any of those voyages.

Which early English colony is know as the lost colony?

The third of three voyages known as the Roanoke Voyages. The colonists left England in 1587 and arrived on Roanoke Island, in what is now North Carolina, in July of that year. In August their governor, John White, returned to England to secure more supplies. His departure marks the last verifiable information about the colony. He returned in 1590 and found no trace of his colony.


Who sponsored the Roanoke Colony?

There were 12 investors, including John White who was the Governor of the colony. Some of the investors traveled to Roanoke Island, some did not. Sir Walter Ralegh had no financial interest in the 1587 colony. He had financial interests in the 1584 and 1585/6 voyages to Roanoke Island, but by 1587 he was concentrating on his Irish estates, and had no real input into the 1587 voyage.


John White or Sir Walter Raleigh?

I'm not sure what you are asking, but John White was the governor of the 1587 colony that traveled to Roanoke Island to establish a permanent settlement there. The colony was supposed to go to the Chesapeake Bay but were landed on Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. Sir Walter Ralegh had a minor interest in that colony although he had a much more prominent interest in the two previous voyages which took place in 1584 and 1585. Although Ralegh had financial interests in the voyages and organized them, he did not accompany any of the voyages.


What did Sir Walter Raleigh discover on Roanoke Island?

He didn't discover anything. Ralegh never came to Roanoke Island. He was largely responsible for the organization and formation of the Roanoke voyages, but he did not participate in any of the four trips to this part of the New World. It is a common misconception that he traveled to Roanoke Island.


What were the unsuccessful English settlements in North America?

Why do you think scientist aren't sure how the people came to the Americas?

Probably because there's very little physical evidence to determine how they got there. Additionally - records of the voyages will be unlikely to still exist - providing no details of the voyages.
