Sir Walter Raleigh sent 117 people to Roanoke Island in 1585 in an attempt to establish the first English colony in North America. He hoped to establish a base for further exploration, trade, and ultimately profit from the New World.
Walter Raleigh sent men to establish a settlement on Roanoke Island in present-day North Carolina. This settlement was known as the "Lost Colony" due to the mysterious disappearance of its inhabitants.
The second expedition left England in August of 1585.
Queen Elizabeth I was queen from 1558 to 1603. The lost colony of Roanoke was started in the 1580's.
