England and the Eastern Seaboard of America, 1586-1590.
After the disastrous first expedition, everyone agreed that Roanoke was a terrible place and should not be colonised. That was until it was colonised a second time, but not by choice.

And finally, why the mystery of the Roanoke Colony isn't as mysterious as you may have thought.
