What does the position of the west bastion of the actual site of the Jamestown indicate?
At the time of the settlement of Jamestown, the English still feared raids by the Spanish. How does the position of the fort reflect that worry?
Explain how the map shows that the Jamestown fort had been totally destroyed more than 130 years ago at the very least.

The fort was placed about 100 yards downstream from the deep water port the Colonists established to offload supplies from ships. This was done because the water was shallower there, thus prohibiting any Spanish or French warships from moving closer to the fort to bombard it at close range.
