The lost colony, design by william ludwell sheppard, engraving by william james linton. This image depicts john white returning to the roanoke colony in 1590 to discover the settlement abandoned. A pallisade had been constructed since white's departure in 1587, and the word "croatoan" was found carved near the entrance. White explained to his men that this was a prearranged signal to indicate that the colony had relocated, but was unable to search croatoan island for further information.
