Loss
She remained in service until April 1636, when she was being moved from the River Medway to serve as the flagship of Sir John Pennington. She struck her own anchor whilst under way and stove in her timbers, sinking in the river. She was raised at a cost greater than her original purchase price, but was found to be damaged beyond repair, and subsequently broken up in 1638.

Famous quotes containing the word loss:
“One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“The cheapness of man is every day’s tragedy. It is as real a loss that others should be low, as that we should be low; for we must have a society.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Nothing is so important to man as his own state; nothing is so formidable to him as eternity. And thus it is unnatural that there should be men indifferent to the loss of their existence and to the perils of everlasting suffering.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
