During the third winter (1609-1610), known as "the starving time", 154 of the colony's remaining 214 settlers died due to lack of food and medicine. This brought the total deaths to nearly 9 in 10 of the 500 that had originally come to the colony.
Of the original settlers of the Plymouth Colony, approximately half, or around 50 of the 102 passengers who arrived on the Mayflower, died during the first winter of 1620-1621. The harsh conditions, including cold weather, food shortages, and diseases, took a significant toll on the settlers. By the spring of 1621, only about 50 colonists remained alive.
The Roanoke Colony, established in 1585, faced significant challenges with its food supply. Initially, the settlers relied on supplies brought from England, including provisions like corn, beans, and preserved foods. However, due to difficulties in securing regular resupply and poor relations with local Indigenous tribes, the colony experienced food shortages. Ultimately, these challenges contributed to the mysterious disappearance of the Roanoke settlers by 1590.

This colony was part of England's attempts to establish a permanent settlement in the New World. The settlers faced numerous challenges, including food shortages and conflicts with Indigenous peoples, and when a supply ship returned in 1590, the colony had mysteriously vanished.
