In this age of digital communication, people can reach each other instantly. But what happens when it takes months to communicate and travel to a place on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean? In only three years, a civilization of over 100 people disappeared with little evidence of where they went. This is the case of the lost colony of Roanoke. The settlers joined the local Native Americans, abandoning Roanoke in only three years. Ninety men, seventeen women, and eleven children were left
Furthermore, starting a colony with 115 English settlers on an island called Roanoke. Then, White went away for three years to get more supplies; by the time he got back there was nothing...nothing but a word “Croatoan” on a tree.

the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island has been a controversial issue. Many theories exist that explain the disappearance of the colony. Some theories suggest that the colonists left the island to live with friendly neighboring Indians. Others suggest that a hurricane wiped out the colony or that a savage Indian tribe massacred them. The possibility of disease destroying them is also a debated topic. However, evidence indicates that the men and women left behind on Roanoke Island did not die because of massacre
The Lost Colony of Roanoke is one of America's oldest mysteries and still remains unknown today. Roanoke Island was home to about 115 English settlers, but it only lasted three years before the colony mysteriously disappeared. When the colony vanished, the only clue left behind was one simple word, "Croatoan". Croatoan an island just south of Roanoke, was home to a Native American tribe with the same name. Some people believe that the tribe had something to do with Roanoke's disappearance but it
happened to the settlers of the Lost Colony of Roanoke? This is one of the greatest mysteries of history and there is little evidence that provides the answer to this question.

On July 22, 1587, long before the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock, 120 colonists from England landed onto a small island along the coast of what is now North Carolina. The group unpacked their ships and founded a settlement, Roanoke Island. Then, they vanished without a trace, leaving behind only fascinating theories and mysteries.

The Lost Colony and directed by Brendan Greockel and Brian Leckey.

getting lost while trying to go back to England, or to go to the mainland. The most believed theory is that they were attacked and killed by Native Americans.

The Lost Colony of Roanoke is a conundrum that has baffled the world since 1587, when the colony perished. The “Lost Colony” went to live with the Croatoan Native Americans.

Justin Miller Ms. Bevacqua History 111 19 October 2017 The Lost Colony One of the oldest American mysteries can be traced back to August 1587 when 115 English colonists arrived at Roanoke Island, off the coast of what is now North Carolina. John White, the newly elected governor of the colony, decided that once they were settled in he would travel back to England for some needed supplies. As he arrived, a massive naval war broke out between the French and the English which barred him from returning
White returned to the colony he had not seen in a long time. The place was deserted with the words “CRO” marked on the flag’s gatepost and “CROATOAN” engraved in the middle of a tree. There weren’t any bodies or sign of violence that had come upon them in the area. I strongly believe that the settlers of Roanoke were not killed, but merged into the nearby Croatoan tribe. When Governor John White returned to the empty land of Roanoke, he did not find any bodies and found little human made evidence
