If modern day Hatteras was in fact Croatoan, then they most likely perished in a Cat 4 or 5 hurricane that effectively erased them and their settlement for existence............

Is there anybody from the past who can testify of this new settlement?

I live very near the site - locals have long believed there is very little mystery. The colonists eventually intermarried with the local Indian tribes, most likely the Lumbee who do have blond hair, blue eyed descendants. They had to do what they had to do to survive.
Interestingly, Trump signed an EO that should lead to the Lumbee being formally recognized as a tribe

My experiences at Manteo convinced me that the colonists were all eaten by mosquitoes.

That very well could be.
Assume they went to Hatteras Island, then get hit by a hurricane, many perished and a remnant were rescued by the Lumbee and moved away.................

They had to do what they had to do to survive. From your description of the Lumbee, it sounds like they did a bit of doing all righty.

I’ve wondered why old maps have outsized whales and fishes in the waters. Was that just art, or did it indicate something?

The site has been known for a good period. See FReepmail for more.
