I've come up with some additional punishments; for those GM's who want to use it: The Boo Box, and the Gauntlet! (Based off the movie Hook, and real life pirate punishments, respectively)
The Boo Box is an appropriate punishment for the 2nd or third time a character falls asleep on duty, or if they are caught lying to an officer of the ship.
Running the Gauntlet could serve as a punishment for crew members fighting, or for selling or spilling your ration of rum (after the first time you're caught).
Boo Box - This oversized wooden chest can fit all but the largest Medium creatures. Crew members are typically bound before being placed in the boo box. The boo box contains a small opening (it looks similar to a chimney) that crew members use to put vermin (bilge spiders, bilge rats, sea snakes) or foul substances (rotten fish heads, bird crap, snot, and worse) in the box with the crew member. Crew members in the boo box must first make a DC 15 Will Save to avoid becoming shaken for the rest of the day. This is a mind affecting fear effect. Crew members in the boo box must make a DC 15 Fortitude save to avoid becoming sickened, throwing up all over themselves (taking the standard penalty to their saving throws if they failed the first save). This punishment is very humiliating.
Running the Gauntlet: Crew members line up in two rows, and administer 1-2 rope bashes as the offending crew member proceeds down the "gauntlet". With all hands participating, this is a sort of democratic deterrent and an encouragement to work as a team.
