Queen and Orion forced Northumberland and Jemmapes to surrender, though Queen lacked the people and manoeuvrability to secure Jemmapes. Royal George and Glory disabled Scipion and Sans Pareil, but the British ships were also too badly damaged to take possession. The French vessels remained drifting in the gap between the fleets. Villaret-Joyeuse could therefore attempt to recover several ships that had already been defeated in combat.
