 The Lucera , trying the same evasive tactic , was the next galley attacked ; a Dutch galleot , which drove under full sail managed to ram her . The galley was struck between the mainmast and stern , with a blow which carried away the assailant 's own bowsprit , but in return completely demolished the stern of the galley . Vice @-@ Admiral Cant came up once more in the Half @-@ moon , and finished Lucera ( Morning Star ) off by ramming , tearing the galley apart . Meanwhile , Victory and two States ' galleots were chasing two galleys ; San Juan and Jacinto who were already in a sinking state . With nowhere to escape and the gale blowing against them , the only option was for the respective commanders to run them aground near Nieuwpoort . In the end , both galleys succeeded in reaching the safety of Niewpoort . Another galley managed to evade the Dutch and English long enough but it too ended up being wrecked on the French coast near Calais . The galley San Luis , which bore Spinola himself and his thirty @-@ six pay chests , attempted to reach Dunkirk , but as the tide was low , she was forced to wait beyond a sandbank . Ten Dutch ships fell upon San Luis , but Spinola succeeded in sailing between the Dutch vessels and reached Dunkirk . With this the battle had ended and a Dutch blockade formed to prevent Spinola 's escape .
