What famous work did shakespeare maybe based on the settlement at Jamestown?

None of Shakespeare's works are based on the settlement at Jamestown, which was indeed contemporary with him. There is a possible connection between The Tempest and the wreck of the Sea Venture, a ship belonging to the Virginia Company of London, the company which had sponsored the Jamestown colony. The Sea Venture became unseaworthy in a heavy storm and was intentionally sailed into the reefs at Bermuda, allowing all of the passengers and crew to survive. William Strachey's account of this event is thought to be a source for The Tempest. In another interesting connection, some of the passengers of the Sea Venture died on Bermuda, including the wife and child of John Rolfe, the man who saved the Jamestown colony by importing tobacco there, and the man who would in due course take Pocahantas for his wife.
