The Lost Colony of Roanoke
from Web Crawlers
In 1587, John White led a group of 118 colonists to the first English settlement on Roanoke Island off the coast of North Carolina. But when the colony's leader, John White, made a trip back to England to get supplies, he returned to Roanoke to find all the settlers had vanished. They left behind only a single clue, the word “Croatoan” carved into a post. The colonists were never seen again. Historians and archaeologists have been trying to figure out what happened to those initial settlers ever since. THEORIES: They integrated into the Lumbee Tribe, they were kidnapped by another tribe, they died from diseases, they moved inland for more food, or they tried to sail back to England.ALSO: Maria gets furious over Melissa not knowing what the Brave Little Toaster is.—New theme song by Nick Bowen: https://soundcloud.com/nick-bowen-music/web-crawlers#—EMAIL US: [email protected] US A VOICEMAIL: 626-604-6262—FOLLOW US: TwitterInstagramRedditFacebook—To join our Patreon click HERE—MERCH: https://webcrawlerspod.com—Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/webcrawlers.
