Drake’s fleet carried John White home from Roanoke, where he and Boazio exchanged artwork.

Evidence

It has been established that various drawings of fish and animals on the large maps were borrowed from John White, the artist of the first Roanoke colony who returned with Drake’s fleet to England. The supposition is that the two artists may have compared their materials during the homeward voyage, with the result that White’s finer work on animals replaced in several instances the somewhat cruder efforts of the other. — Mary Frear Keeler, Sir Francis Drake’s West Indian Voyage,…, 2165
