The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
As of Cataclysm Baron Longshore has been captured by the Alliance and held in the stockade at 69,85. Likely to be executed he will bargain for your assistance. Free him from his shackles and he will reveal the whereabouts of his treasure map. And doesn't every pirate captain have a treasure map?

This quest is strangly repeatable for me. It shows up as a regular quest, but if I go to Baron Longshore a day after completing it, I can do it again.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Find Baron Longshore
That dirty pirate Baron Longshore was the terror of these waters before the Alliance demolished his fleet and rounded up the survivors. Am I happy about it? Do I look like a bundle of joy and good cheer, <name>? Longshore raided some of my most valuable cargo before his capture.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Most Unusual Map
Here's the deal, mate: to protect me treasure map, I tattooed it onto me first mate's scalp. Of course, he's dead now, along with most of me crew. The Alliance doesn't even know what they have - his severed head is hanging from a tree at the entrance to this camp.
