Check everything carefully.
1) On 1 September 1651, he went to Hull to see a friend who had a ship and was sailing for London. (The comma after "September 1651" is needed to separate the introductory phrase.)
2) Without much thinking about his father's warning, he got on his friend's ship and left for London. (The possessive form "his father's warning" is correct. No further grammar errors.)
3) After eight days of nice weather, they were caught in a storm, and the ship went out of control. Robinson thought they were going to die. (Adding a comma after "storm" helps to separate the two independent clauses.)
4) As they were sinking, a small boat came towards them and tried to save them. (No grammar errors.)
5) Finally, they managed to jump onto the boat. They rowed as hard as they could, and they eventually arrived at Yarmouth. (Adding a comma after "could" helps to separate the independent clauses.)
6) His father's friend warned him to stay on land. He decided not to go back home because he didn't want to hear his father tell him he'd been right. (No grammar errors.)
7) He headed to London where he made many friends. After a while, the captain of a ship traveling to Africa offered him a place on his ship's next voyage. (Adding a comma after "a while" helps to separate the two independent clauses.)
8) He took shoes and clothes on the ship and sold them for money. He made money and returned to London. The captain of the ship died soon afterward. (Using "afterward" in place of "afterwards" in this context is preferred.)
