And when it does this, it damages a ship in such a way that a large portion of their food supply is damaged and lost. So most of the food they were bringing with them is lost. And they're just not really set up to live off the land in the new world. And the boat, the ship itself is damaged pretty severely as well.

So now they're in a situation where they don't have enough food to actually support this colony of 600 men. So they decide we're going to leave 100 men here. And those are the people who are going to run this colony. And the rest of us are going to have to go back. And the other thing they realize, as I was discussing, is that this is totally unsuitable for large ships. There are too many shoals.

It's too dangerous. It's too shallow. So these big ships can't come in. Well, so the Tiger, it's repaired. And eventually the fleet will sail on to port Ferdinando. And this is actually where they reunite with the other two vessels that were hanging out there. And the fleet heads back. And these hundred guys are stuck on Roanoke Island, which is where they decide.

You know, that's a great question. Did they want to be there or not? Now, you got to remember, they think they're going to find gold. So some of them might have been like, this is my opportunity to get rich if I can find some gold. But either way, one out of six of them are left there and they decide the northern end of Roanoke.

That's a great question because it could be the other way around. It could be that they really thought we can only support 100 and the 100 lucky ones. I don't know, but I mean, colonization for a lot of people was the opportunity to make it, right? They lived in England.

Maybe their religious liberty was restricted or maybe they were poor or they were the second or third or fourth son and they didn't want to enter into the priesthood or whatever. So there were a lot of people looking for opportunities. So that's a good question. I look at this as, wow, sucks for those guys. Send me back to England. But I'm not sure that that's how they viewed it.

Either way, they decide to stay on Roanoke Island, and they're going to build their little colony there, and they're led by Ralph Lane. And they begin exploring the local area. They have Monteo and Juan Chies with them, and they start making contact with the local natives, and they begin partaking in some... Unfortunately, this sort of peaceful coexistence, it's going to break down eventually.

I think Lane, he was a very aggressive guy, and you're going to see this is not going to work out.

And I think really this mindset was a problem for the colonies because if they had just wanted to sort of be there and build their colony and grow their food and sort of do their thing, I think they would have been fine. But I don't think, once again, it's a bunch of men, they're there to make their fortune. They're not thinking long-term, right?

They're not thinking, we got to live with these people for the next 50 years. They're thinking, we're going to find some gold. We're going to get the gold and then we're going to be rich. And then we'll go back to England and we'll be rich people in England, right?
