When we think of pirates, we think of Long John Silver. Piracy (the verb) has been around for thousands of years. Vikings did it too. Around 1800 the US Navy took the lead at stopping piracy on the high seas, so other than a few crooks, all that is left is the lore.

Probably one day younger than the oldest ship. Think about it. Theives are older than hookers.

There were already pirates in Antiquity.

The Mayflower was part owned, with three others, by Christopher Jones of Harwich, Essex, UK. It was bought from the Greenland Whale Fisheries Co. in 1606 and hunted whale in the summer months off the coast of Iceland down the North American coast. In the less warm months it traded with mainland Europe and Norway - taking woven fabrics, cottons and ale etc. and bringing back wine from France and anything else that London merchants required.

32 men were rescued from the Oklahoma over the course of 36 hours. 2 hospital corpmen were pulled out of the California.

I will continue to look but this is what I could find. I do know that 6 were able to swim out of a porthole in the Oklahoma and another swam out from below decks so the cutting crews knew where to cut to save others. I do not know if they are included in the 32 or not.

The Mayflower and the Speedwell were the ships the first Pilgrims sailed on. Both set sail for the New World on August 15, 1620, but were forced back twice due to dangerous leaks on the Speedwell. The Speedwell's passengers regrouped on the Mayflower, and on September 16th, the voyage began, a month behind schedule.

The Mayflower landed near what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620.

In history, you will always find contradicting information. However, MayflowerHistory.com is the source of this answer: After many complications, the Pilgrims departed on September 6, 1620. They sighted land (Cape Cod) on November 9, 1620. Therefore, it took the Mayflower about 66 days to cross the Atlantic Ocean. For some perspective on this time scale, one of my ancestors sailed from Antwerp Belgium to Port of Quebec, Canada in only 11 days in 1910.

The White Ship was a vessel which sank near the Coast of Normandy, in Northern France on 25 November 1120. It is important in English history because one of those drowned was William, the oldest son of King Henry I. William would have become the next king if he had survived. King Henry had intended his daughter, Matilda (also known as Maud) to succeed him but after his death in December 1135 she was not a popular choice because of her gender and the fact that her husband was Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou - an enemy of the Norman Barons. Henry's nephew, Stephen of Blois laid claim to the throne and there followed a nineteen year civil war between supporters of King Stephen and supporters of Matilda, known as The Anarchy. This was resolved by the Treaty of Wallingford in 1153 whereby Stephen agreed that Matilda's son Henry would succeed him. Stephen was the last Norman king and, when he died on 25 October 1154 Henry became King Henry II, the first Plantagenet King.
