60. Pirate Ship. Simiilar to the Pirate (one of my first posts), the Pirate Ship is a "neutral" piece that may be moved by either player. Its move rotates the regular Ship: it moves one space diagonally, then proceeds outward orthogonally like a Rook, but instead of moving forward or backward like the Ship, the Pirate Ship moves sideways; and, like the Pirate, it may only move to capture. ([cF?scR])
Arguably, I should've left this piece until next Tuesday (International Talk Like a Pirate Day), but I've already mentioned other plans for the first four days of next week.
(I'm still not sure whether I should've left the sail on the ship.)
