The expedition, which was equipped by the Cathay Company to search for new raw material deposits, precious metals and the Northwest Passage to Asia, first sailed to Greenland and then to Baffin Island before ultimately returning to England. The expedition was unfortunately unsuccessful, discovering neither the Northwest Passage nor precious metal deposits. White, however, drew some revealing sketches of the land and people he encountered on his journey.
In the spring, circa 8 years later, White again joined an expedition sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh and commanded by Sir Richard Grenville to establish a new settlement on Roanoke Island. While there, White made numerous paintings and sketches of the land, natives, flora and fauna of the region. Twenty-three of his paintings were later used to illustrate Thomas Hariot's "A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia." The colony, under the direction of Ralph Lane, was soon abandoned, however, and White returned to England with his sensational works.
Then in May 1587, White sailed again with over 100 colonists, appointed by the Crown as governor, to establish another colony. Hoping to secure a permanent trading post for England, the settlement was established on Roanoke Island that summer. In the fall of the same year, White returned to England for supplies and to further the expansion with new colonists and supplies. When he arrived in England in November, however, he could not immediately arrange a quick return to the New World because of the approaching war with Spain. When he returned to the island in August 1590, everyone had disappeared. The only trace of the "Lost Colony" was the word CROATOAN carved on a post of the palisade built by the settlers, and the letters CRO on a tree. It is possible that the group was wiped out by hostile Native Americans or joined a friendly tribe. Among the missing were White's daughter and granddaughter, Virginia Dare. To this day, the fabled story of the colony disappearing from the face of the earth and the whereabouts of the 113 men and women remains an unsolved mystery. A broken man, White then retreated to the solitude of Ireland, where he wrote a detailed account of his last journey to Virginia. John White died around 1593 in Kylemore, in County Galway, Ireland. At his death, he was considered an important British artist, explorer, cartographer and governor of the English settlement on Roanoke Island.
