Oh no, <name>, the cannonballs are hitting the Speedbarge. I'd say the Southsea pirates are getting more accurate... the ship is on fire!
You've got a river boat now. Please, go speak with Griznak.
Extinguish those fires!

Griznak is located south of the main barge on the smaller of the two platforms!
Bar Fight!, In the Outhouse and Down in the Deeps must be done before this is available.
It took me a while to figure this one out. Your movement keys (right, left) swing your character around on the gunner chair. So the "in front of you" means when your gunner chair faces the ship, not looking towards the prow of your own boat. It still took a while since a lot of fires didn't seem to react, but I finally got it done.
