Ms.Sue but how do I make all of this information into a big huge story. Could you give me the starting point. And could you tell me a place which actually matches the info. You gives me pleas.

First you need to do the research. Read a lot. Read carefully. Study the pictures. Decide which ship, clothes, food, weapons you can use in your story. Take notes. Take more notes.

After you have a lot of information, then you can plan your story.
