Actually these stories are all quite true. Just because you are ignorant about history does not mean that it did not happen.
These stories and many more are from a book called; "The European Discovery of America, The Southern Voyages, 1492-1616", by Samuel Eliot Morison, Oxford University Press, 1974

Study history. It is fascinating. Since this is a 700 page book, I can't give you page numbers for these stories.
