The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island

The case of the lost colonists of Roanoke is the ultimate thriller in history. A group of people out to establish a colony just disappeared...

The Lost Colonists of Roanoke were left on Roanoke Island in present day North Carolina in 1587 in order to establish the first colony in America. A vessel was sent back to England with Governor John Smith to obtain supplies and was subsequently unable to return until 1590.

Upon the return of the supply ship, the colony was gone, not destroyed, but removed. The only clue was the name Croatan carved into a tree...

The Wraiths of Roanoke by Rafael Jordan uses this backdrop for the Movie

There is an ongoing DNA project to trace the descendents of the lost colonists
