Between the years 1584 and 1590, Sir Walter Raleigh launched three voyages to the new world under Queen Elizabeth I. The first of these three voyages was merely a scouting expedition. Sir Walter sent Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe in 1584 to explore the new world and find a place to establish a colony. Moreover, Captain Amadas and Captain Barlowe had landed on the barrier islands of what is known as the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Thanks to the guidance of Portuguese navigator, Simon Fernando. Simon Fernando was an experienced sailor as he had sailed to the Americas before. During their time in the Outer Banks, they made abounding discoveries and traded with the local Indians known as the Wingandacoa. The Wingandacoa were fascinated by

This delayed made Ralph Lane, the appointed governor of the new colony worried because he believed the delay had cost them valuable time to prepare for winter. Grenville thought this was nonsense, and a conflict between Grenville and Lane would emerge. In addition to the animosity between Grenville and Lane, their largest ship, the Tiger, was too enormous to enter the sounds surrounding Roanoke Island. Along with other large ships, they were forced to sail off the Atlantic coast and expose themselves to more unstable weather and seas. Henceforth, the Tiger was heavily damaged by the weather and the majority of the food supplies would be destroyed on board. Metaphorically symbolizing the hopes of establishing a permanent colony on Roanoke Island destroyed. Furthermore, the expedition was changed from a establishing colony voyage to a scouting voyage. As Lane and 100 men were left on the Roanoke Island to construct a temporary shelter so they can scout for a more permanent location. Grenville was briefly scouting the region for a location until he had to sail back to England with the rest of the men for supplies and more people, he would return next year. Moreover, Lane and his …show more content…
The 1587 voyage would be the last voyage to Roanoke and would be known as the “Lost Colony” due to the fact that no one knows what happened to the 118 people that disappeared. Before expedition took place, Raleigh was supportive of the idea of a English colony in the New World, he started showing signs of disapproval about this venture. As a matter of fact, the expedition was compromised from the beginning. The last two attempts had cost England more than 30,000 pounds (which would be worth roughly 9,178,140.73 pounds today) and the last two attempts have not amounted to anything. As there was a lack of discovery of gold and other valuable materials. Due to these facts, many investors would begin receding support. Nonetheless, in April of 1587, the new group of colonists led by John White began their journey. The colonists were supposed to sail up the Chesapeake Bay to find better area for settlement but would be left on the Roanoke Island because the flotilla captain, Simon Fernandes refused to sail up the Chesapeake due to the incoming winter. On July 22, 1587, White and the colonists arrived on Roanoke Island. Like the second voyage, the colonies started to rebuild and refurbish the fort and dwellings left by the second expedition. Relationships between the English and the Natives would go downhall even more when the Secotan tribe attacked and killed
