History
Prior to the release of 28 March 2005, islands could have more than one inn -- although Midnight's Zeta, Cnossos, and Cranberry islands were the only ones to ever have more than one.
Cranberry Island was originally located on the Midnight Ocean. The Cranberry Island monument is just northwest of the island's default entrance portal, clearly visible on the minimap.
Cranberry I — 2004-09-11, Tyr's Own attempted the first blockade of Cranberry on behalf of Quixaroo, the former Azure governor of Cranberry. Facing a large defense from Silver Dawn and its allies, Tyr's Own only won the seventh round. Contender Trans-Atlantic Empire also only won one round.
Cranberry II — 2004-09-18, The Ruby Ring gained an unofficial new flag, Trans-Atlantic Empire. Assisting this flag heavily, TAE won the blockade in seven rounds. Tyr's Own contended after dropping a war chest in round four.

After six rounds, the score was 3-3, but Luthien had recently finished. Facing a massive defense, Trans-Pacific Empire lost the next three rounds.
Cranberry IV — 2004-10-19, Sea The Constellation was a flag formed from the crew They Might Be Pirates, who had been expelled from Trans-Atlantic Empire. Aided by Robertdonald, the flag contended the first round, but dropped out to plan the next Cranberry blockade in round two.
Cranberry V — 2004-10-22, Cranberry became the first island to be blockaded five times; Cranberry V was contended by the alt flag DOOFIS in support of They Might Be Pirates.
