In this turn(3250 BC) I firstly received any units.

The tough part is taking a city intact - this early they are usually small.

In a regular game when the pirate ship hits an island it is within 5 tiles of someone's city. It also disappears the next turn after you disembark - you might want to try staying aboard. Otherwise explore the island, if you get gold from a hut try bribing something (that Dip you have is really a Barb Leader).
 
Ships doesn't disappear. You can use them as a map revealers. But I have noticed(not confident though), that after disembark you can't return to ship.

Hut aren't gathered:( They just disappear after you step on them and don't bring anything.

Barb units are really weak and usually lose battle even to settlers.
 
Hmm... I thought that the Barbs received a combat penalty / bonus depending on the difficulty level the game is played at.
 
No. They don't lose everything. I don't remember exactly, but sometimes units win.

In fact, in Civ1 with increasing difficulty level increases barbs DEFENSE, not attack. I don't know, if that's true in Civ2.
