Jamestown was a really shitty place when people from England settled there. Living conditions were horrendous. England didn't know how to sustain a colony since they never did it before. They didn't know that they had to continually send food and supplies over the course of a couple years until the colony is self sufficient. After a long while, England sent over a supply ship and the crew discovered that almost everyone had died, the few people that were left were extremely malnourished and close to death. Instead of trying to find food, they were bowling. That's right....bowling.
