I keep seeing contradictory opinions on this, unless I am not understanding something.
On the English Wikipedia page it says he "explored from North Carolina to Florida." The source is biography.com which doesn't list a source for that fact.
But in the Wikipedia page on Roanoke Colony (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roanoke_Colony) it says he never visited North America - but with no source.
I keep seeing different views on this.
Sorry if this isn't the right subreddit. I will delete if necessary.
No he never landed on the North American continent personally, if that is what you mean.
What he did was send out/financed missions to explore North America who explored that land, however he didn't sail with them personally
