This quest in picked up by Crazy Larry.

Walk right outside the camp and Lil' Crazy Larry will be on your right hand side. I will submit a screen shot of him as well. If you talk to him you can choose to have him load you into the cannon. Doing this loads you in, and a few seconds later it will blast you across the water, landing on the ship. Be aware you might take some damage from this. Also, there will be 3 or so Giblins right next to where you land, so be prepared for this.

There are 3 items you need to pick up from the ship:
Thousand-Thread-Count Fuse
Extra-Pure Blasting Powder
Stack of Questionable Publications

One is on the deck of the ship itself, the other two are underneath the deck, in pretty much opposite sides of the ship. There are some mobs around, so be aware if you're leveling.

After picking up the 3 items, there is a cannon on the top deck you can "talk too" and it will give you the option to load yourself into the cannon. The same thing will happen, and you get shot back to where you started, next to Lil' Crazy Larry.

Hope this helps! Feel free to correct me, or add more info if needed :)

The powder is in the "captains room" on the 2nd floor.
The fuse is on the deck of the ship, near the mast.
The "Stack of Questionable Publications" is in the bottom floor, far end from the stairs.

Also: doing this quest gives you the Going Down? achievement from using the cannons.

So has anyone ever used the cannon on the ship and had it shoot you not towards land, but instead out into open water? I did that just now, landed in fatigue waters. Not too far into it, but still, was kind of funny.

What to do

StorylineSwamp of Sorrows, step 7 of 36

Description

Our trade frigate's still all the way out there on the water, swarming with Gilblins! AHH! Sorry about that. But really! We need a way to get you out there and get back our stuff. There's quality goods left on that ship! QUALITY! LIKE MY MIDDLE NAME! Lucky for you, I have an idea! Head right outside the camp and check along the north wall... my son Jerry'll get you over there with our cannon! If he's been practicing, that is!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Can't Take It With ThemSwamp of Sorrows · Level 15-30

    Any shipping crew I had that you don't see hanging around this camp are DEAD! Those were some fine goblins, but what's worse is they're all still out there! It's a TRAGEDY! I mean, it's a tragedy they still have all their stuff!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Orcs and HumansSwamp of Sorrows · Level 15-30

    With war raging across the entire world, the last thing we need is a Horde settlement right in our backyard. Redridge, Duskwood, even Elwynn itself are all a day's march from here. We've made the first strike, and I don't plan to give the Horde a chance to catch their breath.
