The complete changelog can be viewed at Ice Ocean changelog. =2011-06-24=
 * Bottled Ship lifetime is now 60 days
 * Added portrait images for the Enthralled Mask and Gator (previous Ice release notes mentioned they weren't ready yet)
 * Expedition Compasses will no longer be removed if you happen to fight a BK of the same type as the compass, but not actually spawned by the compass.
 * When a vessel sinks, all items on the navigation table will be removed, and all cannons will reset back to being unloaded.
 * It should no longer be possible to re-enter a stationary expedition while the sinking of the vessel is taking place.
 * "Ship Repair" has been renamed to "Ship Salvaging".
 * Removed Shanghais (all Shanghais have already been migrated to Rogue Marks)
 * Some cosmetic changes to the Rogue Mark Shoppe. Services have been broken out into tabs.
 * Familiar and pet rename and recolor services are no longer available for Pieces of Eight. They can now only be purchased with now Rogue Marks.
 * Clicking on a pet, familiar, or deed now offers menu options that will take you to the Rogue Mark Shoppe for all your renaming or recoloring needs.

=2011-06-17=
 * New Crown of Chaos design available in exchange for Vargas trinkets.
 * New Cursed Isles rewards from chests:
 * Chaos Cauldron and Cursed Altar (furniture)
 * Enthralled Mask
 * Alligator pet
 * Note: the mask and alligator are not yet displaying in portraits
 * Bugfix for repairing sunken ships from within a shipyard bazaar.

=2011-06-13=
 * Ship Repairs
 * Ships that are sunk in battle can now be restored to their former glory. At the time of sinking, the deed-holder will be granted a bottle containing an image of their sunken ship.
 * To have the ship repaired, bring the bottle to a shipyard and select the new "Repair yer Ship" option. Then drag your bottled ship onto the shipyard interface.
 * Your bottled ship will be passed to the shipyard where it will be used to reconstruct your ship as it was (including paint, furniture, props, and name). The cost is equal to constructing a new ship of that class, and requires the same commodities, amount of labor, and doubloons (on doubloon oceans).
 * For LE ships, the cost is the same as the base ship type. For example, repairing a sunken Phantom-class sloop requires the same commodities and labor as constructing a new, regular sloop.
 * When the repairs are completed and the order is delivered, the pirate who paid for the repairs at the shipyard will be granted the new vessel deed.

=2011-05-20=
 * Rogue Marks
 * Rogue Marks are a new reward item given to players who support Puzzle Pirates and Three Rings by referring new players to the game, purchasing Doubloons, or subscribing. While similar to Shanghai Points, Rogue Marks are an individual reward: they are a stackable item that is stored in the Miscellaneous section of your Booty, rather than a running total on a crew's info page. They can be traded between players just like any other item. Eventually, Rogue Marks will replace Shanghais.
 * Rogue Marks can be exchanged for various types of renames (ships, crews, buildings, familiars, etc), as well as a new Chart Box item. The Chart Box can contain a random Sea Monster map, Expedition Chart, Expedition Compass, or inter-archipelago map.
 * To exchange Rogue Marks, click on one and select "Rogue Mark shop". This will bring up a page with the full list of exchanges available.
 * To facilitate testing on Ice, Rogue Marks will be distributed through events in the coming days.
 * Now available in exchange for cursed isles trinkets (via a design at the trading post) - the Cursed-Class Sloop.
 * Brigand Kings may now appear for very mighty ships, such as well-staffed Grand Frigates. Note, however, that Kings may flee before the battle begins if they don't like the odds.
 * Reworked the handling of Brigand King crews and adjusted the calculation of the crew size & skill.
 * Skull/ZombieHand/BK Trinkets no longer require the trinket to be one you specifically earned in order to be displayed in your portrait.
