Answer:
Lane's colony lasted for Eight Months
Step-by-step explanation:
Seven ships carrying 600 soldiers were sent from England in the April of 1585, under the command of Sir Richard Grenville. The ships encounters a storm on their way to America which led to a decrease in the number of ships from seven to five.
The company finally reached the Outer Banks by June 1585.
The colony on an invitation from the Red Indians built a fort on the shore by August 1585. Although having been invited by the Red Indians in the construction of the fort the fleet led by Grenville was not able to secure a good harbor.
Lane and his men came to America with the intention of finding a place to settle. they explored the countryside and tried to set up camp. Lane was unable to secure a good hold on the land, he lacked the skills to deal with the Red Indians and the colony was not able to stand the storms with such a small number of people. Lane decided after eight months of stay that the conditions were something the men could not overcome with such few supplies and a number of men. Thus he decided to leave with his colony of 107 men.
