Want this question answered?
It was not a good location. In fact it was the worse spot in the area. The water was bad and there was problems with disease from the water. It was so bad that the native Americans in the area would not live there.
because Jamestown was near the Indian and they did not get along other reason is most of the water was not fresh so they had to drink polluted water other reason is when its winter people get sick and they had no medicine and no food because they did not know that
Poor health.
You basically said it in your question. The ground was swampy so the water was bad, there were mosquitoes, and disease.
the colonist from Jamestown and Powhatan always fought because the place they were in wasn't a good place to stay because of the bad salt water and diseases.
one advantage was that they were surrounded on three sides by water and one by swamp

The Jamestown location was bad because they build their fort beside/on a swamp with had bugs that carried deadly diseases and the water also killed many of the settlers. South Williamsport. Kayla V.

There were NO advantages with the Jamestown location. If they had looked for the worse spot in the entire area on purpose they found it. It had bad water, mosquitoes, disease, and an empire of 15000 Native Americans living there. 104 men landed there and within 6 months only 34 were alive. Disease and starvation had gotten to them.
I have the same queStion
Jamestown was founded later, was settled in a very different sort of location by a group of only men and actually survived.
