Jamestown is built on swampy land and it had a poor water supply. Mosquitoes were very bad so the combination of bad water killed most of the 106 men within six months. The lack of food was also a problem.
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.
