What Really Happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke? The New Evidence

In 1587, about 115 English men, women and children were left on Roanoke Island. When their governor, John White, finally returned in 1590, they were gone, leaving one word carved on a post: CROATOAN. The word pointed south. The colonists themselves had said they would move fifty miles inland.
