Roanoke Voyages
When an individual thinks about the Roanoke voyages, the one that usually comes to mind is the third voyage, more formally known as “The Lost Colony”. However, there were two other voyages that lead up to this particular voyage. All of the voyages of Roanoke were settlements on the Northern Coast of North American or present day North Carolina. In 1584, Sir Walter Raleigh convinced Queen Elizabeth I to provide funding to set sail and travel to the new world. The first voyage was meant to be strictly an exploratory voyage in means of finding a place to start colonizing. Along with Sir Raleigh Walter, Thomas Harriot and John White set sail to the new world. Thomas Harriot studied and documented various plants as well as animals.
