The 1587 group was deposited at Roanoke Island and the reasons for that are unclear. They were supposed to go further north to the Chesapeake to found their settlement. A "gentleman" on board made the decision to leave the settlers at Roanoke Island. The identity of the gentleman who made that decision has never been made.
