Seems like you're on your own. More shipwrecks lie along the bottom of the sea. This must have been the location of a major battle. Time to start checking dog tags to find Marshal Valentine.

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.
