Thomas Gray and John Pinkerd stood accused of "Acts of delinquency and rebellion committed in and aboard the sloop by the said Gray and his confederates." As fugitives wanted by the Colony of Carolina, the outlaws fled Charles Towne, leaving their ship behind in poor condition.

In 1673, the Grand Council of Charles Towne seized the ship for use in settling the debts of its disgraced former owners. Renaming the ketch The Fellowship of Carolina, the Council ordered the ship repaired - right at this very place - then loaded with goods and sent to Barbados to turn a profit for the Lords Proprietors.
