Fargo Flintlocke says: Bah, predictable! They'll see it comin'!
Fargo Flintlocke says: But once ol' <name> here blasts through their bulkhead in a hail of splintered wood, blood, and phlegm then starts crawlin' across the deck with both legs broken, oh aye, they'll not see THAT comin' by a sweet mile, no sir!

This quest was not available until after I turned in 'Welcome to Highbank!'
Pretty simple quest, just collect the little shiny barrels. There are quite a few off the ship and that's probably your best bet. However, I noticed that the respawn time on the little barrels was rather quick so you could just sit there and farm the ones on the boat. When you go to turn it in, the little bugger has run off again. He's NOT on the boat where you started the quest, instead he's past the little fortress at 78.8 76.8
