Dont do what I do and just look on the ground the captain is on top of the ship
Note that the ship is in 2 halves, the first clue is in the back half of the ship(the part that has the horde symbol shape)! I only saw the front half and ran all over it looking for a chamber :)

What to do
Description
The Archstone was being transported inside a flying Horde gunship called the Storm's Fury. The airship crashed south of here and our scrying has revealed the Archstone's no longer on it. Search the ship for clues related to what might've happened.

After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
