Produced by the ROANOKE ISLAND HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION, INC Produced by the ROANOKE ISLAND HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION, INC. The Lost Colony is produced by the Roanoke Island Historical Association, Inc. (RIHA). It is Ameri- ca's longest running symphonic outdoor drama, located on Roanoke Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We are a non-profit historical and educational corporation as identified by Section 501 (c) 3 of the Internal Revenue Service Code. Since 1937, RIHA has produced The Lost Colony to celebrate the history of the first permanent English colony on Roanoke Island, North Carolina (1587), through drama, education, and literature. Our compelling story of vision, determination, and inspiration recounts the trials and tribulations of England's first attempts to colonize the New World and their interactions with the Native Americans. We present the drama, written by North Carolina’s Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Green, each summer (June through August) at the Waterside Theatre at Fort Raleigh National Historic Site operated by the National Park Service Outer Banks Group. The Lost Colony is supported by admissions, memberships, contributions, corporate sponsorships, grants, state and local funds, a generous corps of volunteers, and the cooperation of the National Park Service. The experience of our theatre patrons is our first priority. Our story is brought to life each summer by talented and impassioned actors and technicians and enhanced by our beautiful setting on Roanoke Sound, where the actual events of history took place over 400 years ago.

Has a sense of history surrounded you? Does the rustle of ancient oaks echo with cries of early settlers? Does the rumble of native drumbeats haunt the night air? Can you feel the arm of history beckon you to explore America’s greatest unsolved mystery? What happened here more than four centuries ago? What of those 85 men, 17 women and 13 children? What are we to make of the letters CRO carved into a tree near where we come together tonight? And why do we care? Pioneering English settlers were not first to inhabit this land. Native tribes thrived throughout the region and lived with a strong sense of social order. To the south, Spain established settlements in St. Augustine by 1565, almost two decades before the English took possession of where we are gathered. How best to understand The Lost Colony? Our story is a dramatic interpretation drawn from historic records and conjecture, eloquently blended with poetry and music and dance by Pulitzer Prize-Winning North Carolinian, Paul Green. Take a moment to see sculptor William Hipp III’s bust of Paul Green at the rear of Waterside Theatre. Now in its 81st summer season, The Lost Colony began as the vision of area residents unselfishly committed to preserving the story of Virginia Dare and those early English colonists who endured the 5,000-mile journey to new lives in a mysterious, unknown world. That same spirit continues to inspire subsequent generations of directors of the Roanoke Island Historical Association, a non-governmental nonprofit. Together, with an annual company of more than 120 artistic leaders, actors, singers, dancers, technicians and theatre managers, we are honored and humbled to keep the dream alive. To appreciate tonight’s performance further, we encourage you to continue pursuing the mystery of the Lost Colony. Stop by the National Park Service Visitor’s Center adjacent to Waterside Theatre. Visit other Roanoke Island attractions. Linger in downtown Manteo. Learn about iconic lighthouses that dot the Outer Banks. See where Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903 inaugurated the era of powered flight. And enjoy miles of the finest family beaches. Thank you for attending The Lost Colony. We hope you will let your imagination wrestle with how you would solve America’s greatest unsolved mystery! Regards, William P.

  • Bibliography of North Carolina Underwater Archaeology
    i BIBLIOGRAPHY OF NORTH CAROLINA UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY Compiled by Barbara Lynn Brooks, Ann M. Merriman, Madeline P. Spencer, and Mark Wilde-Ramsing Underwater Archaeology Branch North Carolina Division of Archives and History April 2009 ii FOREWARD In the forty-five years since the salvage of the Modern Greece, an event that marks the beginning of underwater archaeology in North Carolina, there has been a steady growth in efforts to document the state’s maritime history through underwater research. Nearly two dozen professionals and technicians are now employed at the North Carolina Underwater Archaeology Branch (N.C. UAB), the North Carolina Maritime Museum (NCMM), the Wilmington District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), and East Carolina University’s (ECU) Program in Maritime Studies. Several North Carolina companies are currently involved in conducting underwater archaeological surveys, site assessments, and excavations for environmental review purposes and a number of individuals and groups are conducting ship search and recovery operations under the UAB permit system. The results of these activities can be found in the pages that follow. They contain report references for all projects involving the location and documentation of physical remains pertaining to cultural activities within North Carolina waters. Each reference is organized by the location within which the reported investigation took place. The Bibliography is divided into two geographical sections: Region and Body of Water. The Region section encompasses studies that are non-specific and cover broad areas or areas lying outside the state's three-mile limit, for example Cape Hatteras Area. The Body of Water section contains references organized by defined geographic areas.

  • 2021 Lost Fishing Gear Recovery Project: Call for Working Water Assistance
    2021 Lost Fishing Gear Recovery Project: Call for Working Water Assistance Applications Accepted Until December 15, 2020 The North Carolina Coastal Federation is currently accepting applications for “on-water” cleanup assistance relating to its annual Lost Fishing Gear Recovery Project. This project is open to commercial watermen and women in North Carolina. This project is funded by the N.C. Marine Fisheries Commission Commercial Resource Fund Committee and the Funding Committee for the N.C. Commercial Resource Fund under the Commercial Fishing Resource Fund Grant Program and is intended to improve habitat, water quality and support coastal economies. Eligible participants are selected for involvement in this program to help the federation and N.C. Marine Patrol remove lost fishing gear from coastal waters during the “no-potting” period. In January 2019, commercial watermen and women in partnership with Marine Patrol officers removed 3,112 pots from select areas in Districts 1, 2, and 3. The 2021 project will take place in select areas within all three Marine Patrol Districts statewide, during the closed seasons: o Jan. 1-31 north of the Highway 58 bridge to Emerald Isle o March 1-15 south of the Highway 58 bridge Compensation is $450 per boat per day. A captain and mate are required for each boat. Captain refers to the individual who is in charge of and provides the vessel. (A merchant mariner credential is not required for this project.) To be considered, captains must have a valid North Carolina standard commercial fishing license (SCFL). A copy of the license must be submitted with this application.

  • Tursiops Truncatus) Sighted in the Roanoke Sound, NC Jacquelyn Salguero
    Delineating the northern extent of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) sighted in the Roanoke Sound, NC Jacquelyn Salguero Introduction Common bottlenose dolphins (hereafter referred to as bottlenose dolphins), Tursiops truncatus, inhabit temperate and tropical waters across the world, including both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans of the United States (Rice, 1998). Within these regions, two main morphotypes of bottlenose dolphins can be distinguished: pelagic and coastal. In the western North Atlantic, along the Eastern United States, coastal populations are managed as distinct stocks, where a “stock” is defined as a group of animals that occupy the same area and interbreed (Rosel et al., 2009). Despite being highly mobile with a continuous range, coastal Atlantic bottlenose dolphins have been classified into two main ecotypes based on their primary habitat: “migratory coastal” found along the coastline and “estuarine” primarily residing in areas such as estuaries, bays, and harbors (Hayes et al., 2017, Toth et al., 2012). For management purposes, a number of estuarine stocks have been defined based on their spatial and temporal ranging patterns despite no clear spatial barrier to dispersal, migration, and gene flow (Rosel et al., 2009). This pattern of divergence without physical barriers, or sympatry, within inshore populations of bottlenose dolphins can also be seen in populations of bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops aduncus, in Moreton Bay, Australia. Significant genetic divergence was found along the small geographic region of Moreton Bay, showing patterns of fine-scale discrete population structuring depending on the varying water depths in the Southern and Northern regions of the bay (Ansmann et al., 2012). Another example of this overlapping spatial distribution within bottlenose dolphin populations can be found in Southern Georgia and Jacksonville, Florida estuarine systems which are approximately 80 km apart (Rosel et al., 2009).

  • Commonlit | Settling a New World: the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island
    Name: Class: Settling a New World: The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island By National Park Service 2016 The Fort Raleigh National Historic Site is dedicated to the preservation of England’s first New World settlements, as well as the cultural legacy of Native Americans, European Americans, and African Americans who lived on Roanoke Island. In 1585 and 1587, England tried its hand at establishing a colonial presence in North America under the leadership of Sir Walter Raleigh. The attempts were failures on both accounts but they would come to form one of the most puzzling mysteries in early American history: the disappearance of the Roanoke colony. As you read, take notes on what circumstances or mistakes might have put the English settlers at a disadvantage in creating a lasting colony. [1] "About the place many of my things spoiled and broken, and my books torn from the covers, the frames of some of my pictures and maps rotted and spoiled with rain, and my armor almost eaten through with rust." - John White1 on the lost colony of Roanoke Island 1584 Voyage In the late sixteenth-century, England’s primary goal in North America was to disrupt Spanish "John White discovers the word "CROATOAN" carved at Roanoke's shipping.
