In 1586 the English sent the first group of hopeful colonists to the New World. When ships returned three years later, the settlement was empty and colonists gone. The only clue was the word Croatoan carved in the gatepost of their fort. Our team spends three days at Fort Raleigh in hot pursuit of archaeological evidence that will put the ghost of Roanoke to rest and establish where the first colony in America was actually located.
