TheWoWDBIt's hell when the yellow question mark is right on the screen and you can't find it, especially for blonde mages. After you kill 'him' and get the key, jump ship toward the open sea to the north, turn and swim to the bottom, on the north side of the ship there's a hole you can swim through and viola, "work complete".

The chest is at the bottom of the ship. The last floor, you'll notice one of them big boat guns at the ground, then towards the left is the chest, with a mob near it. I had some issues finding it, so I thought it be helpful to post this on wowhead.
Jump off the north part of the ship and swim into the hole at the bottom of the ship. Not a window, an actual hole blasted into the ship. Dont waste time like I did

Description
To break the curse, there must be a reckoning. Captain Halyndor damned us all to covet a forbidden artifact; the Eye of Paleth. His spirit still covets it, standing guard over the strongbox of his old ship, the Intrepid. Vanquish the soul of the one who cursed us so, {class}. Defeat the Captain, claim his key, and spirit the Eye of Paleth far from this place.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Cursed Crew
The sailors of the Third Fleet are damned, forever cursed to wander these shores in agony. Fitzsimmons' anguish is tied to us; so long as we suffer, there can be no rest for him, either. You must end the suffering of my crewmates' spirits. Purge their ghosts from this plane, and return to me.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Eye of Paleth
Opening the chest reveals a blackened orb, pulsing with an eerie light. This must be the foul Eye of Paleth that damned these sailors' souls. Such corruption should be purged. Perhaps a priest in Menethil Harbor could help you.
