Joachim or Chajjim Gans reached America in the summer of 1585 aboard one of Sir Walter Raleigh's ships under the command of Sir Richard Grenville. On 26 June he arrived at the barrier islands near Cape Hatteras in what is today the State of North Carolina. On 29 June the pilot of the flagship, the Tyger, tried to get her to a safe harbor in the sound beyond the outward islands. The inlet was too shallow, however, and the ship ran aground. To set her free the crew had to jettison valuable provisions, including apparently some of Gans's heavy technological equipment.
