Getting onto the ship without aggroing a million people was difficult, as this quest is kinda glitched atm. Whenever you run up the gangplank, the sailors on the deck as well as below will aggro. But then I remember I was a hunter. So I used Feign Death when I got onto the ship, and once I was on there was no glitchy aggro issues.
tl;dr hunters use Feign Death, rogues/druids stealth onto the boat, locks can soulstone once they die, and shaman can Rebirth. Nelfs can shadowmeld, and everyone else would be best off dying and rezzing on the ship.
:)
Level 46 Hunter. My Lion won't even go up the gangplank. I get to thte deck and get slammed by 2-3 mobs. No pet to tank so I get get killed every time. Very buggy quest. (addendum) Founda a work-around for this. Went aboard the ship, got killed. Brought spirit back and took it below deck to a safe corner before rezzing. Pet came when summoned and proceeded to complete the quest starting at the bottom of the ship.

Description
As you may have seen, the ship docked to the north has its cannons blazing. While it's pretty fun watching the gnomes run face-first into a hail of iron, my bruisers keep doing it too, and it's absolutely killing my overhead expenses. I'd like you to try and dance through the cannonfire, get on that ship, and kill the taskmaster leading the cannoneers. The rest of the crew is probably a bunch of spineless prats; once he's down, we should be good.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Booty Duty
Let's not be wasteful here, babe. These pirates have tons of valuable nonsense just sitting around, waiting to be fenced. Can you believe they just sit on this stuff? I mean, why do they even bother taking it if it's just going to sit around?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Filling Our Pockets
We've looted everything that isn't bolted down around here, but I'm not done yet. If we're bothering to do the Steamwheedle Cartel's dirty work for them, we're going to make as much cash as we can while we're here.
