Save the Migrator Project

The Save the Migrator Project was a project started by Gary the Gadget Guy in early 2008 to help salvage Rockhopper's ship, the Migrator. A large stall with tools could be seen at the Beach with the words "Save the Migrator Project" on it.
==Incident==
On January 17, 2008, Rockhopper's ship, The Migrator, unexpectedly hit an iceberg and sank. Due to this, Gary the Gadget Guy set up a project for his ship to be salvaged. Weeks later, Rockhopper arrived in his row boat with no harm, concluding that there were no deaths. In February, there was a Submarine Party for the project and Gary set up a building site on the Iceberg for a submarine that would be used to salvage parts of the Migrator. Players received free mining helmets during that time.
===Extra===
A poll was held to ask what would the submarine's name would be. The name with the most votes was Aqua Grabber 3000, which is still currently in use for the game.
==Ship Rescue Mission==
On February 19, when Aqua Grabber was launched, penguins could use it to recover parts of the Migrator. These parts were collected at the beach. If you completed the first level in time, and recovered all four required parts of the Migrator, you were awarded the Golden Wheel Pin. On March 20, the Migrator started being built. In late March, it was nearly completed. In early April, players could go aboard the Migrator, however the hold was still in ruins and very dirty.
==Conclusion==
thumb
On April 2, the Aqua Grabber 3000 began being used for collecting pearls and treasure. In mid-April, the Flare Flinger 3000 was set up at the Beach. This was used as a way to contact Rockhopper and Yarr. On April 25, there was a party celebrating the return of Rockhopper to Club Penguin. Rockhopper came back and was overjoyed.
