It was the only one of the first three voyages that truly attempted settlement in the New World. It took place on Roanoke Island in what is now North Carolina. It was a failure. Ralegh did not sponsor the settlement voyage. He had sold his interests to others and he merely lent his name to the organization of the expedition.
The fourth voyage in was an attempt to find out what had happened to the settlers. No trace was found other than two somewhat cryptic clues carved into a tree and a palisade. Ralegh did not accompany any of the voyages and his only trips to the Americas were to South America. He did settle Jamestown it was his charter.

Two ships were commissioned by Raleigh for the first voyage of exploration.
The mission was initially to explore the east coast of America, to identify a site for a settlement. The ships arrived off the east coast of America in July, They landed at Roanoke Island. The men of the two ships made contact with two local tribes: the Secotans and Croatoans.
It became clear to Amadas and Barlowe that a settlement was possible at Roanoke. However further supplies, troops and settlers would be needed to make it viable. Barlowe returned to England to inform Raleigh of the situation. He took with him two native North Americans. Manteo and Wanchese. Raleigh, buoyed by the news, set about organising a second, larger, fleet to travel to Roanoke. They built a fort and were promised that further supplies and men would arrive the following April.
Lane and his men suffered greatly. Food was in short supply and there were clashes with the local tribes. Luckily for the colonists, Raleigh himself landed anchor at Roanoke in the summer. He offered them passage back to England. Some, though not all, returned to England, bringing with them tobacco and potatoes.
Raleigh was keen to make sure that his colony was a success. He again went about organising a fleet to travel to Roanoke Island. When they arrived they found nobody. White, the newly appointed Governor of the colony, was eager to have peaceful relations with the local tribes. As a result of this Manteo became the first Native American to be baptised into the Church of England. The tranquility that White had hoped for did not last long.
Soon one of the colonists had been found murdered, by a local native. The colonists were fearful. White was persuaded to return to England to ask for help. Under usual circumstances such a journey would have been made the following spring.
Unfortunately, White was unable to return to Roanoke for two years. When he returned to England the threat of a Spanish attack, the Armada, was a real one. Hoping, on his release, to recover his position, he led an abortive expedition to Guiana to search for El Dorado, a legendary land of gold.
Instead, he helped to introduce the potato plant and tobacco use in England and Ireland. It was there that Raleigh lived with his wife and servants and wrote his History of the World Raleigh was released in to search for gold in South America. He invaded and pillaged Spanish territory at a time when James I was seeking peace with Spain, and was forced to return to England without booty. Raleigh was arrested on the orders of the king.
His original death sentence for treason was invoked and he was executed at Westminster on October 29, He is buried in St. A gifted poet, writer, and scholar, many of his poems and writings were destroyed.

Finally, like Spain's efforts to make the New World Catholic, England wanted to spread the new Protestant religion among the "savages" — to claim the land for God and Queen, although not necessarily in that order. In a sense the two settlements at Fort Raleigh represented England's schooling in establishing a colony.
The first was more like the Spanish operation — militaristic , dependent on the home country, and exploitative of the Native Americans. The second was intended to be a permanent colony, with women and children, fewer soldiers, and a sounder agricultural base. Although all of the settlers who were to have built "The Cittie of Raleigh" disappeared, their dream of an English home in the New World was realized twenty years later at Jamestown.
The party of explorers landed on July 13, , on the North Carolina coast just north of Roanoke Island, and claimed the land in the name of Queen Elizabeth. Barlowe wrote that the land they found was.
John White, who accompanied Lane and Grenville to Roanoke in , explored the Chesapeake region and reported back what he found. This illustration, based on one of White's paintings, shows an Algonkian Indian village probably much like the one on Roanoke Island. Three days later they were met by Granganimeo, brother of Wingina, chief of the Roanoke Island Indians, who had perhaps heard the Englishmen's guns, which they had fired soon after landing.
They traded with the Indians for several days and invited them aboard their ships. Then Amadas, Barlowe, and seven of their men accomapanied Granganimeo to Roanoke Island, where the Indians entertained the Englishmen in their palisaded village. The earth seemed to bring forth "all things in aboundance, as in the first creation [the Garden of Eden], without toile or labour.
But Amadas and Barlowe had landed in the middle of summer, when the Indians had plenty of food to share, and the Roanoke Indians, having never seen white men before, were as fascinated by the explorers as the explorers were by them.
The report Amadas and Barlowe took back to Raleigh would turn out to be overly optimistic. They also took back two Roanoke Indians, Wanchese and Manteo, so that Raleigh could meet the native people for himself, learn more about them, and make plans for his settlers to live among them.
Wanchese and Manteo went willingly — the Roanoke Indians, like the English, wanted friendly relations and to learn more about these strange new people. They returned to Roanoke in with the second group of settlers from England. After Captains Amadas and Barlowe returned in from their expedition to the New World with reports of "a most Pleasant and fertile ground," Sir Walter Raleigh had little trouble getting the Queen and a number of other investors to back his colony.
In the spring of , men — of them colonists — set sail for Virginia in seven ships commanded by Raleigh's cousin, Sir Richard Grenville. After weeks of searching and privateering , they found, with the help of nearby Indians, a fertile, well-watered, and defensible spot on Roanoke Island. Ralph Lane was named Governor of the colony, and the settlers immediately set to work in building a fort for defense against the Spanish. Although the colonists established a trading relationship with the Indians, they soon realized that, with the coming of winter, providing for themselves would not be easy.
Many supplies had been lost when one of the ships ran aground, and since they cultivated little land, the colonists soon grew dependent on the Indians, cadging food and robbing their fish traps. But as winter deepened, the Indians had less food to spare, and in any case were growing tired of trinkets. Disenchantment set in, especially after measles and smallpox brought by the settlers began to kill the Indians.
By the colonists were anxious to relocate. Lane had concluded that the site wasn't suitable as a privateering base, and tales of Indian gold and a possible northwest passage were circulating. So in late winter Lane took a party up Albemarle Sound.
Chief Wingina saw a chance to rid himself of the demanding colonists.
