Capt. Gosnell Ignored the Lost People at Roanoke Island in 1587

Captain Bartholomew Gosnell was a successful mariner and privateer and was named by Captain John Smith as the “prime mover” of the founding of Jamestown, Virginia. Gosnell was born in 1571 and hailed from Otley Hall in Suffolk, England. In 1602, he led the brief colonization of the Elizabeth Isles, exploring and naming Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard. Gosnold’s experiences along the New England coast informed his views on organizing and establishing the Virginia colony. Also, that year, Captain Gosnell furnished a small bark from Dartmouth and set sail in her himself with thirty men, designing a more direct course and not to stand so far to the southward or pass by the Caribbean Islands as all former adventurers had done.
