Subsequently, Papegoja was assigned the duty of sailing to Sweden to transfer additional settlers to the colony.
The Mercurius left Sweden during November 1655 and arrived in the Delaware River during March 1656.
By the time the ship arrived, New Sweden had surrendered to the Dutch West India Company.
In short time, Johan Papegoja had a falling-out with the Dutch and departed for Sweden in 1656.
Johan Papegoja is believed to have died at Ramstorp manor, Ångarp parish, Skaraborg, now in Västra Götaland, Sweden.
