Question

Who discoverd roanoke

Answer 1

Lane's colony was troubled by a lack of supplies and poor relations with the local Native Americans. While awaiting a delayed resupply mission by Sir Richard Grenville, Lane decided to abandon the colony and return to England with Sir Francis Drake in 1586. Grenville arrived two weeks later and left a small detachment to protect Raleigh's claim. In 1587, Raleigh sent White on an expedition to establish the "Cittie of Raleigh" in Chesapeake Bay. However, during a stop to check on Grenville's men, flagship pilot Simon Fernandes insisted that White's colonists would remain on Roanoke. White, however, returned to England with Fernandes, intending to bring more supplies back to his colony in 1588. The Anglo-Spanish War delayed White's return to Roanoke until 1590, and upon his arrival he found the settlement fortified but abandoned
