James Collett described the voyage of the ''Harry Bonadventure'' under the command of Robert Swanly in the Mediterranean in the period February to June 1653. The ship was on a warlike voyage in the immediate service of the English Commonwealth. Near Messina, the ''Harry Bonadventure'' fought a naval battle with two Dutch ships, resulting in the capture of the ''Saint Peter'', the larger of the two Dutch ships. The prize ship the ''Saint Peter'' itself was damaged and had to return to Messina for repairs. Hopwever, the reception of the English at Messina was hostile, and Swanly set sail again along the coast of Sicily, intending to go to Tunis. Near Trapany, the ''Harry Boandventure'' came across more Dutch ships and put into Trapany for shelter. Despite promises of protection from the governor of Trapany, Van Trump's Dutch ships entered the harbour and the ''Harry Bonadventure'' was captured.<ref>[[HCA 13/68 f.134v Annotate|HCA 13/68 f.134v]]</ref>
