Examination of a map held by British Museum, created in 1585 by Roanoke
governor John White, has revealed what some believe is a new clue to what happened to the Roanoke "Lost Colony". Researchers have
examined the area beneath two patches attached to the map. One of these
patches appears to be a simple correction to the map, but underneath the
other patch is a symbol denoting a fort. The patches appear to be
contemporaneous with the rest of the map, and American and British scholars believe the fort symbol could indicate where
the settlers went.
