The galleon sank on Grand Bahama Bank, 35 miles southeast of Bimini and 7 miles southeast of Beak Cay in the Riding Rock Chain. She sank to a depth of 5 meters.

A few years after the shipwreck, it was marked on nautical charts. However, neither divers at the time of the sinking, nor modern-day divers have located the ship.
