Croatoan Island

Croatoan Island is an island by Roanoke, Virginia. It is speculated that the Roanoke colonists might have fled there. Reasons given for this include the colonists' friendship with Monteo, a Croatoan indian, and a carving of the word "C-R-O-A-T-O-A-N" into a post of the fort, which was supposedly done in order to let John White know where they had fled.
