About this listen

In 1587, more than a hundred English settlers established a colony on Roanoke Island, in what is now the United States. Three years later, when a supply expedition returned, there was no one left. No bodies. No signs of struggle. Only a single word carved into a wooden post: "CROATOAN." The fate of the Lost Colony of Roanoke has remained one of the oldest and most puzzling mysteries in American history ever since.
