In Search Of... Season 4 # 06, The Lost Colony of Roanoke

116 people landed on an island north of the coast of South Carolina. They established a foothold long before the Jamestown colony was founded in Virginia. The remains of the colony is still a mystery. Is it possible that the people, the animals and the buildings disappeared without a trace? Sir Walter Raleigh got the approval of the Queen to establish a colony in America. Virginia Dare was the first English child being born in America. Her grandfather, Sir Walter Raleigh, returned to England to ask for more supplies – in vain. All ships were needed to fight the Spanish fleet. This is why he only returned 3 years later on Governor White’s ship – to find the island empty.  They might have survived and mingled with friendly Indians. That might explain the fact that some Indians have got blue eyes.
By a tourist a stone was found saying that Virginia has died. Another stone was found stating that another 16 people have died.
