This is a story of mystery and intrigue, set in the 16th century. The Roanoke Colony, a group of English settlers, had been living in what is now North Carolina for several years. But one day, they suddenly disappeared without a trace. No one knows what happened to
The Roanoke Colony was the site of two attempts by Sir Walter Raleigh to find the first permanent English settlement in North America. The first colony was established at Roanoke Island in 1585 as a military outpost, and was evacuated in 1586. The more famous second colony, known as the Lost Colony, began when a new group of settlers under John White arrived on the island in 1587; a ship in 1590 found the colony abandoned. The fate of the 112 to 121 colonists remains largely unknown.
