'''Roanoke Island''' is a coastal island of [[North Carolina]], 12 miles long and 3 miles wide, and connected to the mainland by bridge. It is renowned as the location of the firsst English colony in [[North America]], founded by [[Sir Walter Raleigh]] in 1585. Further colonists arrived in 1587, but an expedition of 1590 found no trace of the colonists; their fate has never been determined.
