Sir Walter Raleigh raised money and led the first voyage to Roanoke in 1585. He obtained a charter from Queen Elizabeth I to establish a colony in the New World, which resulted in the establishment of the Roanoke Colony in present-day North Carolina. Raleigh was instrumental in organizing the expedition, although he did not personally travel on the initial voyage. The colony ultimately struggled to survive and was later abandoned.
