Which colony is known as the lost colony that was found deserted?

Roanoke is referred to as the "lost colony" because its settlers mysteriously disappeared without a trace. Founded in 1587, this English colony off the coast of present-day North Carolina was established as an attempt to create a permanent settlement in the New World. When John White, the colony's governor, returned from a supply trip to England three years later, he discovered the settlement abandoned with no clear indication of what had happened to the colonists. The only clue was the word "Croatoan" carved into a tree, which suggested that the settlers may have relocated to a nearby island or interacted with local Native American tribes. The fate of the Roanoke colonists remains one of history's great unsolved mysteries, contributing to the colony’s enduring legacy as the "lost colony."
