carbonite reports this area incorrectly for the end of this quest, which is actually 59.2, 3.5, where the gryphon drops you off near the captain. but if you're like me and often accept quests without reading them first and go to the spot highlighted by carbonite later on, it's nowhere near where you need to be. go back to admiral aubrey in northwatch hold and take the gryphon!
you can ask the captain for a ride back when you're done, taking you back to the admiral for another quest.
The quest seemed bugged to me becouse it wasnt counting the kills.. But then i flew back to the quest giver and somehow I could turn it in.. weird..

Description
{name}, the sea is our only lifeline, and right now most of my fleet is either steaming back to Theramore for repairs or rusting at the bottom of this bay. Only the Blackpool remains afloat to defend our harbor. But she's just signaled that she's being boarded! Speak to me when you're ready, I'll have one of our naval gryphons deposit you right on the deck. Slaughter the rageroar sea dogs who dare assault my precious ship and report to Captain Fisher for further orders.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Futile Resistance
<name>, I certainly don't want to deliver my report to Commander Singleton without at least a little bit of good news. We've got to wrestle control of these roads back from these Horde holdouts. From what we can gather, Kona Thunderwalk is the name of the ringleader.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Guns of Northwatch
Captain Fisher signaled us from below. The Horde fleet is landing shore parties? We can't let them flank us from the beach. I've already sent two of my best gunners down there to defend the beach head. Talk to Cannoneer Smythe down on the shore.
