Think about it. Think of all the fish, crabs, oysters and clams in eastern Virginia even today. Just think how much there must have have been back in 1607. There must have been an abundance of sea food. Plus there were millions of wild ducks and geese.
So what happened. I don't think they were starving because of a lack of food. I think they got sick from trying to drink water from the river. When there is plenty of rain the river water would be fresh water. If it was a time of drought salt water would have come up the river from the ocean. There was a drought at that time.
