"The Lost Colony of Roanoke: What Happened to the 117 Colonists?"


🏛️ THE LOST COLONY OF ROANOKE

In August 1587, 117 English men, women, and children arrived on Roanoke Island off the coast of North Carolina. They came to build England's first permanent settlement in the New World. Among them was Eleanor Dare, daughter of the colony's governor John White. On August 18th, she gave birth to Virginia Dare—the first English child born in America.

Nine days later, John White sailed back to England for supplies, promising to return by Easter. But war with Spain delayed his return for three years.

When White finally returned on August 18, 1590—exactly three years after his granddaughter's birth—the settlement was empty. All 117 colonists had vanished. No bodies. No graves. No signs of struggle.

The only clue? One word carved into a wooden post: CROATOAN.

435 years later, the Lost Colony of Roanoke remains America's oldest unsolved mystery.
