Their leader sailed back to England for supplies, but the trip took three years longer than planned due to a war. When he finally returned in 1590, the settlement was empty. The only clue left behind was the word CROATOAN carved into a wooden post. To this day, no one knows for certain what happened to the Roanoke colonists."
