What is the Jamestown colony mystery?
It's the Roanoke Colony you are talking about, actually. Same place, different people. Jamestown, Virginia, was the first permanent English settlement in what is now the United States of America. Before the Jamestown people settled there, there had been a colony living there called the Roanoke colony. Nobody knows what happened to the Roanoke settlers. It seems they just vanished without a trace one day. No bodies were found, even. All of the houses had been deliberately dismantled, so apparently they did not leave in a hurry. The only clue ever found were two carvings in two different tree trunks, which read, "Croatoan," and "Cro," respectively. For more information, see the Related Links below.
Why was sir Walter Raleigh's efforts to establish a colony on the island of Roanoke proved to be false start for England in America?
The Spanish may have been to blame. All effort had to be placed into defeating the Spanish Armada, and Raleigh was prevented from maintaining contact with the Roanoke colony. By the time relief could be sent to Roanoke, the entire colony had disappeared. It is supposed that they felt themselves abandoned by England and left the colony to live with the native population, but their exact fate is unknown. The Jamestown colony was decimated by starvation and disease, but the colonists at Roanoke vanished entirely.
