 In May 1655 the ''Pilgrim'' lay at anchor at Dicks shore, when the ship the ''Exeter Merchant'' ran foul of her and caused much damage. Many of the casks of wine and oil became leaky from the heavy blow struck the ''Pilgrim''. Ellis recalled the crew of the ''Pilgrim'' pumping the bilges to clear the ship of water, and that they also "pumped up great store of oyles and wynes". Ellis valued the lost oil at £20 per butt and the lost Spanish wine at £9 per butt.<ref>[[HCA 13/70 f.495v Annotate|HCA 13/70 f.495v]]</ref>
