Thomas Midwinter testified that he had been requested to go on board the White Lillie on April 21st 1657 to inspect the damage. He reported that her quarter had been broken in, her cable spoiled, and twenty-eight feet of the White Lillie's keel was shattered, requiring her to be careened before she could be repaired. Moreover her main stay was broken. He valued the ship, including her tackle, apparel and furniture, at £300.[2]
