What John White found was just the word "CROATOAN" engraved on a tree trunk. Given that it was a message from his compatriots before migrating to the nearby island of the same name, John White and the British army decided to look for it. However, sea storms prevented his good intentions before he returned to England shortly thereafter.

John White's return is synonymous with the fact that the "disappearance" of hundreds of British migrants has never been clarified. Do they really migrate to another island? Or was it destroyed by the natives from the beginning? These questions have always been left open for more than 400 years.
