The Legacy of our Journey


A portrait of Sir Walter Raleigh

As we sail home, I have thought about how history will view our journey. While we failed to complete our task, We have discovered an incredible amount of land and have learned a lot about their nasty people. We have created maps and sketches of what we have seen and one day we will be seen as a major step toward Colonization.

(Sir Walter Raleigh's voyages were never celebrated as much as Raleigh and his crew had hoped but many historians believe that even though they failed to sustain a colony twice, the discovery and analysis of the land that all of his voyages had remain significant.
