In the thirteenth century, European explorer Marco Polo described Chinese man carrying kites, claiming that a man would be strapped to a large kite and fly overhead to determine whether the conditions were favorable for a ship to set sail.

The few clues about the colonists' whereabouts included letters carved into a tree that read "CRO" and an inscription on a post of their fort, which said "CROATOAN". The word "Croatoan" refers to both the nearby island and a local tribe of Native Americans. The Governor had agreed before his departure that a message would be carved into a tree if the colonists had moved, and an image of a Maltese Cross would indicate whether or not they'd been forced to leave. White found no such cross and was unable to search the area for surviving colonists. He returned to Ireland, living on the estate of Sir Walter Raleigh, hopeful that his family and friends were still alive somewhere off the coast of North Carolina.
