 Inglefield's spare and unsensational description of this disaster, "Captain Inglefield's narrative concerning the loss of the 'Centaur"' was published shortly afterwards.A dramatic painting of the incident in which those on the pinnace, thrusting off from the foundering "Centaur", pulled aboard a fifteen-year-old midshipman who had thrown himself from the wreck, was later made into a popular print.For three years Inglefield was given a home posting aboard the guardship HMS "Scipio" in the Medway.
