On 8 April four East India Company ships entered the bay in which "Roebuck" was lost and took them on board. One of the vessels, "Hastings", elected to recover an anchor and cable, apparently the one used to warp "Roebuck" ashore. This proved successful, but a grappling anchor was lost. The ships then transported Dampier and his crew home, where he published an account of the voyage in 1703 entitled "A Voyage to New Holland"—again to great acclaim. Though this further cemented his reputation as an explorer, at the court martial into the loss of his ship Dampier was roundly criticised for his treatment of Fisher, destroying any further attempt at official patronage. He later gave the plant collections he saved from the wreck to the Royal Society, and they eventually found their way to the University of Oxford.
