Detective Notebook The first English Colony of Roanoke was founded in 1585, by Sir Walter Raleigh who received permission from the Queen of England to make a colony in America. The Colony ran out of food and Sir Richard Grenville, who had transported the colonists to Virginia, returned to Britain for supplies. Sadly Greenville took a long time to return to the colony. When another sailor named Sir Francis Drake went to Roanoke he picked up the men but left 15 of the sailors who came with him on the island. No one ever saw the men again. Two years later, England sent over men, women, and children to make Roanoke a colony. Three years after that, they disappeared along with their homes and supplies. The only clue left was the word “Croatan” carved on a tree. English and Spanish sailors, as well as many historians today have searched for answers to this mystery. Now it is your turn!
