The Captain's Chest
Captain Hecklebury Smotts used to sail between Booty Bay and Ratchet in Kalimdor, until sea giants wrecked the ship, killed the crew and sent Smotts off in a lifeboat toward Booty Bay. The giant Gorlash took Smotts' Captain's Chest, and Smotts wants it back.
Quest text
I used to sail a ship from here all the way to Ratchet, in Kalimdor. I was a successful captain with a sterling reputation.
Until...
Those cursed sea giants ruined me! They smashed my ship, killed my crew, and set me on a lifeboat to Booty Bay. And one of the giants, Gorlash, stole my Captain's Chest. He said he wanted it for a snuffbox. The nerve!
I hear Gorlash wanders the coast east of here. Find him and get back my chest! Do that, and you'll have earned a captain's gratitude.
Progress
Ahoy, friend! Did you find Gorlash? That chest was my favorite, and it has a hidden compartment that held my greatest treasures!
Completion

You found it! Oh happy day, this is! Thank you, friend. Getting back my chest cools some of the fire in me.
But my revenge isn't complete...
