Hypothetical: which ship would you want to be a guest on?
Unfortunately, it has been discovered that the Social Security Trust Fund contained a typo, and it's completely out of money. Your retirement plan is gone.

The federal government feels bad about this, so they offer you a trip to the past on their top-secret time machine as a way of apologizing.

The only way time travel works, though, is to blip into the past aboard a ship. It has to be a named ship (i.e., famous ship or documented ship), because the time travel technicians have to know the exact location of the ship at a point in history in order to transport you there.

You'll get sent back with a top-secret earpiece that instantly translates any language. Any people will instantly believe your identity as a crew member, passenger, or whatever else you want. You may eat what they eat if you like, but a nice meal and unlimited beverage(s) per day will be blipped to you from the present time period any time at your request (for your use only).

You will have no ability to change history, though you can walk anywhere on the ship, participate in conversations, and whatever else you like. You may pick the time period of your stay (start and finish), and also have a "return home" device that, when activated, will instantly remove you from the ship and bring you back to the present day and age.

Which ship do you choose? A poll will arrive as soon as I lift anchor.

I've long been fascinated with pirates, so why not join the crew of the most infamous of them all
I shot pirates on the navy and sunk their ship.

Usually as a solution to sexual boredom.

Good on you... Sink the Skinnies!

But somehow they're not quite as fascinating or romantic as...

If I were younger and in better shape, I'd pick either Leif Ericson's longship or one of Lewis and Clark's canoes, but from this list it has to be the Queen Anne's Revenge.
