TheWoWDBSamuel Williams is not belowdecks. Don't run around in the belly of the boat wondering where he is (though if you're here, you likely already have!) From the deck of the ship, go up the outside stairs to the little room at the rear of the boat.

A World of Warcraft quest in Stormsong Valley. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
The room is above the deck. Second level from the top in the deck house. Look for purple rune on the wall. It is where you have to go. Climb up stairs, turn left, and you will see the rune.
This quest along with all the others on the ship currently having a rather annoying bug. When you use a AOE spell, Like a DK's Howling blast, it will affect and engage everything within range, regardless of what level below or above it is. Resulting in rather heavy pulls.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Forbidden Rites
These k'thir have been hiding among us, sowing the seeds of their dark masters with us none the wiser. With the barrier around the Abyssal Melody lowered I can peer within; its bowels toil with my own people giving themselves to the shadow!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Gathering Storm
This depravity goes against every oath we take as tidesages. To protect our people... to guide and sustain them... to make our ships strong. This is nothing but darkness. It must all be destroyed. Board the Abyssal Melody and place these focusing rods at any critical points you find.
