The latest island on Poptropica is called S.O.S. Island. In this new quest on Poptropica, a whale-watching expedition strikes an iceberg and begins to sink. You need to rescue everyone on board the ship before it sinks into the frigid waters of the North Atlantic.
The island became available for members on Thursday, January 26, 2012 and for the public on February 16, 2012.
The storyline of S.O.S. Island sounds a lot like the real story of the Titanic, one of the most famous disasters in history. The ship sank after hitting an iceberg on April 14, 1912 — almost one hundred years ago! It was made even more famous by the huge movie from 1997 starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
In the Poptropica version, instead of a luxury liner crossing the Atlantic, the ship is a whale-watching pleasure cruise. And from the screenshots, it appears that the name of the ship is the Pequod, which is also the name of the fishing ship in the famous novel, Moby Dick by Herman Melville. Other than what we’ve been able to see in the sneak peeks and screenshots, little else is known about the new island.

S.O.S. Island Trailer
Before the island was released, the Poptropica Creators posted an official S.O.S. Island trailer on YouTube. Check out that cool intro!
Bonus Quest
The creators announced that S.O.S. Island will have a bonus quest for members. After you complete the main island adventure and collect the medallion, you’ll have the chance to participate in a special bonus quest for members only. In this extra mission, you’ll go deep underwater to stop a dangerous oil leak. Plus, members will get a special costume pack and powers. Sounds cool!

The special gear pack available to members at the launch of S.O.S. Island includes the following items, all of which can be purchased at the Poptropica Store:
- Sonar Power
Get the drop on anyone who’s trying to sneak up on you. - Fishing Pole
Perfect for well, fishing! - Sea Captain
Gives you that classic seafaring look with a white jacket and hat.
S.O.S. Island Screenshots

sos means save our souls
sos stands for save our ship.
lilac: No, I don’t.
Cuddlymonster102: Okay, are the initials for that SOS? No. Duh…
White Hamburger: How could that make any sense?
Calm Owl: That would make sense, but the people are more concerned about their own well-being rather than their ship.
SOS is Save our ship. and ALSO Save our souls.
I thought sos stands for save our ship. SOS is the commonly used description for the international Morse code distress signal (· · · — — — · · ·) also.
If you save the ship, you protect the people in the ship. Get it?
I agree with Calm Owl. SOS does stand for Save our Ship.

when i’m in the room where all the pipes are with the girl behind the steam, it won’t let me turn the wheel underwater. i got all the rest of them except the one underwater. How do you get that one?
~The Friendliest Bubbles
It could stand for save our ship, but what matters more? The people or the ship?
Okay, everyone, I looked it up, and SOS stands for ALL these things. There was never an original meaning.
Well, actually, just the ones like “Save our Ship”, “Survivors on Shore”, etc. But it DOESN’T stand for:
Help (White Hamburger, why wouldn’t they just say help?)
Someone special or Someone help me (Cuddly Monster, why did you single me out and act like I was stupid when you said that?)
i accidentally forgot to put my stinkin name and email and i wrote this really long comment so now i have to write it again. STUPID COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!! has anyone talked to CS recently?

s.o.s stands for save our ships it was used in the times of pirates when your group of ships was in trouble.
SOS stands 4 -
1. Save Our Souls
2. Survivers On Shore and
3. Save our Ship
s.o.s can stand for many things. its primarily meant to say “Save our Ship.” it was commonly used in Morse code a long time ago to send messages to other ships through light signals when one ship was endangered. but i guess it can stand for other things nowadays. such as “save our souls,” “save our souls, ” “survivors on shore, ” and anything else that can match with the letters s.o.s.
where is the freakin written walkthrough!!!!!!(;
i beat about ten islands!

Uh, really? S.O.S. Someone help me would be SHM. Why is everyone doing that?Like me and JOtough said, it stood for alot of things. So let’s just forget it.

I’m stuck on the part where you save the Captain! It doesn’t talk to him and then I run out of oxygen!
every body quit with the whole “what does sos mean?,” Can’t we just leave it at help!?!
We already said that SOS stood for alot of things to mean help, but, yeah, we need to stop.
