John White made three attempts to reach Roanoke Island. His first trip was in 1585 as part of the initial English colonization efforts, and he returned in 1587 to lead a group of settlers. After returning to England for supplies, he faced delays due to the Anglo-Spanish War and was unable to return until 1590, when he found the colony abandoned.
