The lost colony may have been on the island of Croatoan. They are not sure though. john whit was the leader of the lost colony. He had to go back to England to get more supplies and food for the colony but faced the problem of a war with the Spanish Armada. The colony than either left to find new areas to live or died of hunger. No one is really sure.

The plan was for the Colonists to go with the Croatoan Indians if they had troubles so it was assumed that is what happened but no one knows for sure what actually happened to the 115 men, women and children.
