The Lost Colony of Roanoke

In 1587, over 100 English colonists vanished from Roanoke Island. When supply ships returned, the settlement was empty—houses dismantled, no signs of struggle, no graves. The only clue: a single word carved into a post—“CROATOAN.” Did they merge with local tribes? Were they wiped out by disease… or something stranger? Roanoke remains America’s first—and greatest—unsolved disappearance.
