Over 400 years ago, England sent a group of 117 people to a small island off the coast of North America, hoping to establish its first permanent foothold in the New World.But soon after the settlement began, the colony was cut off from England. For three long years, supply ships never arrived, and no one knew what had happened to the people left behind.When help finally came, the colony had vanished. Homes stood empty, fires were cold, and there were no bodies—no signs of battle, no clues to explain their disappearance.For centuries, the fate of Roanoke remained a mystery. It wasn’t until researchers began examining the evidence closely that they found out what had actually happened to those settlers.
