On 9 August she was wrecked in St. Aubin's Bay, Jersey. The pilot Nicholas de Leree had thought there was enough water to pass over a reef of rocks stretching from Sillet Point but she grounded and was bilged. Boats came to her assistance from ALCMENE, ALBICORE, CONQUEST and ECLIPSE and took her people off.
