It took John White three years to return to Roanoke Island after he left to get supplies for the colony. He was delayed due to a combination of bad weather, the Anglo-Spanish War, and other circumstances.
When John White returned to Roanoke after several years in England, he found the colony abandoned with no trace of the settlers. The only clue left behind was the word "Croatoan" carved into a post. The fate of the Roanoke settlers remains a mystery to this day.
