The captain of the ship, John Morris, was mortally wounded.

With commendable modesty Parker only reported himself as slightly bruised; but deserters stated that for some days he needed the assistance of two men to walk, and that his trousers had been torn off him by shot or splinters.

The loss in the other ships was only one killed, 14 wounded.

The Americans had 37 killed and wounded.
The three vessels assigned to enfilade the main front of the fort did not get into position.
