I am looking for an old movie where a boy stows away on a ship - I think it's a pirate ship. The boys name is Connor

Possibly Shipwrecked (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099816/), but his name is not Connor. How old is the movie?

I am not 100%, but it was pretty old, I think around 1960ish?

The boys name was definitely Connor / Conor. I am trying to track it down to give to my son Connor for his 16th birthday, as this was the movie we chose his name from. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the movie, I just know it was an old movie - the footage was quite grainy -and the young boy named Connor was discovered as a stow away and befriended an old man who was on the ship - I am pretty sure it was a pirate ship.

I did find that there was a movie and the ACTOR'S name was donald o'connor called
Double Cross-bones from 1951
Here is the description
Young Davey Crandall and friend Tom Botts buy passage on the ship of local buccaneer Bloodthirsty Ben. They avoid being killed by faking a case of the pox, which causes the panicked captain and crew to desert the ship. The two find themselves alone, and when a lucky cannon shot hits a mast on a British ship, they find themselves mistaken for pirates. They sail to Tortuga, where they recruit such notorious corsairs as Henry Morgan, Captain Kidd, Anne Bonney, and Blackbeard to lay siege to Chaleston and expose the villain Elden.
Double Crossbones (1951) - IMDb (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042411/)

Maybe if you look at actors' names. Maybe it's not the character but actor's name and you got it mixed up
So look for actor's that made pirate movies in the time frame you want
