TheWoWDBI was an idiot for a few rounds and never bombed the sails. Yes, it says to do that but if you missed that and came here wondering why you weren't completing it - you were not alone.

Hit the sails of the ship that is ALREADY BURNING. The quest circle shows the other ship, but hitting that one does nothing.
Oh, the sail! And not just the sail - aim in the middle of the wooden thing that holds the sail, whatever it's called, I'm no pirate to know that. Spoiler: if you aim at the actual sail, it just flies through without triggering quest advance.

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.

Storyline
Blood in the Water
Part 5 of 11.
We've intercepted a Horde missive, and learned that Blood Lord Dreven is currently aboard a Horde ship on the Great Sea. We've lost too many good men to Dreven. It's time to make him pay.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Broadside Bedlam
<The ship's cannons are currently pointed at the other Forsaken ship across the water. However, it appears the crew hasn't loaded them with gunpowder or cannonballs yet... Probably to avoid any accidental firings while they're anchored here.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An Unnatural Crew
Blood Prince Dreven is here, and the situation's even worse than we thought. That monster's training other san'layn. Every neophyte you see on this ship is another future Blood Prince Dreven. His vile practices cannot be allowed to spread within the Horde.

Blood in the Water has 11 steps, from Intercepted Orders to Operation: Gryphon's Claw.
