1584 CE

Walter Raleigh’s initial North American expedition is led by Phillip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe, who choose the Outer Banks of modern North Carolina as an ideal location from which to raid the Spanish and proceed to make contact with the natives.

They return to England with a report of their find: samples of the local flora and fauna, and two natives: Manteo and Wanchese.
