By 1649, the East India Company (EIC) ordered all homeward-bound vessels to wait for one another at St Helena and in 1656 onward the Company petitioned the government to send a man-of-war to convoy the fleet home from there.
Some days afterwards, when a homeward-bound vessel was sighted, the Nightingale was set on fire and scuttled.
