At the moment of writing the canon was inside the ship on the lower deck
The door down is in the middle of the ship, closer to the front part.
Just take stairs down from questgiver and move strait, you will see the entrance there.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Storming InLevel 35-60

    Front and center, <name>! As of last night, we received word that Rexxar's force at Warfang Hold in Stormsong was surrounded by a Kul Tiran army and an attack is imminent. As soon as you have your things packed, go speak with Dread-Admiral Tattersail and we'll get underway. There's no time to waste!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • On the HuntLevel 35-60

    Looks like the magic the Kul Tirans used on our ships is beginning to dissipate, but I'm sure what happened to our ships here is only just the beginning. Get to the shore. We need to contact the survivors and find out just what we're up against.
