It was funded in part, along with other investors, by Sir Walter Ralegh although he did not embark upon the voyage. The colonists under the leadership of Governor John White landed on Roanoke Island in July of 1587. In August of the same year John White left the island to return to England for more supplies. He did not return until 1590 by which time the colonists had left the settlement. Their fate is unknown. It is also unknown exactly when they left the island. The word "CROATOAN" and the initials "CRO" were carved into a tree and a fencepost suggesting that at least some of the colonists had moved to Hatteras to join the friendly natives, but how many of them went there is unknown. There are several other theories as to what might have happened to them.
