In 1584 Sir Walter 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 basion in the New World. The company consisted of men only and was not intended to be a permanent settlement, rather, it was a reconnaissance voyage.

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 approximately 120 men, women and boys traveled to the New World to establish a perment settlment. They were supposed to go to the Chesapeake Bay but were dropped off at Roanoke Island. Ralegh's interest in this voyage was not nearly so intense as his interests in the two earlier voyages. While he certainly assisted in the organization, definitely used his influence to facilitate matters there is no evidence that he expected any financial profit from the venture.
