This caused issues as they did not have the necessary skills like carpenters, builders farmers and blacksmith which were needed to initiate the building of the colony.

Why did Jamestown nearly fail'?
Some problems that appeared were that early colonists looked for treasure instead of making homes and gardens and realized this mistake too late, and the malarial swamps teeming with mosquitoes, the brackish water that they drank, and extreme hostility from the Native Americans and a harsh climate.
