Among other hits, it sustained several hits under the waterline. Twelve people died and 30 were wounded. The ship sank and the crew was taken prisoner and transported to Dunkirk. Capelman managed to escape. He had the events recorded in an attestation in Alkmaar in the Netherlands on March 17th, 1637.

In 1639, Jan Warnaertsz Capelman became captain on the Alkmaar.
