The lost colony of Roanoke Island, off the coast of present-day North Carolina, was established by British colonists led by Sir Walter Raleigh. When he came back from a trip to get more supplies from Britain, he landed on the island and found no one there - the colonists had disappeared. Historians have theories about what happened to the colonists of Roanoke Island, but no one knows for sure what happened.
