Talk to the Captain

Head inside the bank and go upstairs until you find a hatch, this will lead you inside the ship.

Go all the way up until you reach First Mate, from there go up the ladder one last time and find another hatch that leads to the surface of the ship, the Captain is here, talk to him, and accept the task.

Ask for Rewards

If you pass a Charisma check, you can ask for rewards up front and get 100 Caps.

Repulse Scavenger Attack

After the conversation with the Captain, the ship will be attacked by Scavengers. Help them repulse the attack by activating the cannons beside you, attacking them from aboard the ship, or going down and dealing with them one by one.

Once enough Scavengers have been taken down, they will retreat and you can continue with your quest.

Talk to Bosun and Repair the Ship

After the Scavengers retreat, head down the latch and talk to Bosun. He will ask you for repairs on the ship.

2	Install First Power Cable After grabbing the new Power Cables, open the Power Cable lid beside it and install the new ones.
3	Install Second Power Cable Go down one floor and find the second Power Cable terminal that's already open, install the second Power Cable here.
4	Install Third Power Cable The third Power Cable is found on the same floor connected to a wall. Open the lid and install the third Power Cable.

6	Repair or Buy Replacement for Power Relay Coil The Power Relay is on the same floor of the ship as Bosun's. You can choose to repair the Power Relay if your Intelligence is at 5 or higher only, otherwise you'll have to purchase a new one from a merchant or scavenge it from robot enemies.
7	Return to Bosun After successfully repairing or replacing the Power Relay, return to Bosun to finish this part of the quest.

Talk to Mr. Navigator

After repairing the ship, head outside and find Mr. Navigator just after exiting the USS Constitution. He will ask you to get the Guidance Chip from the Scavengers.

Recover the Guidance Chip

Make sure to have the quest marked so you will know where to go. The Guidance Chip is located not far from the Ship, travel to the designated marker via your map, Find Mandy Stiles and talk to her.

Mandy will try to convince you to join forces with them but this is not recommended as if you do, the quest ends with them trying to kill you.

However, you can pretend to side with them and change your mind later on to avoid violence in getting the Guidance Chip. Do this to avoid fighting.

Install the Guidance Chip and Talk to Mr Navigator

After peacefully getting the Gudance Chip, climb aboard the ship again and install the chip in the Core Guidance System. Talk to Mr. Navigator afterward at the forefront of the ship to get 250 Caps as a reward.

He will then be asking you to find a Poseidon Radar transmitter to replace the old one.

Acquire Poseidon Radar Transmitter and Fix Radar

Enter the facility and at the lowermost level is a room with a steamer trunk, the transmitter is inside.

Fast travel back to the ship after collecting the transmitter and fixing the Guidance Radar. Talk to Mr. Navigator afterward to receive another 250 Caps as a reward.

Fight Off the Scavengers One Last Time Then Talk to Ironsides

You will need to fend off the Scavengers one last time before you can talk to Captain Ironsides. This battle will be much lengthier so equip rifles and utilize VATS mode more often.

Side With Captain Ironsides

The fork in the quest starts when Captain Ironsides tasks you with getting the FLL3 Turbo Pump. By giving the turbo pump directly to the Captain and fixing the circuit, you will automatically side with them.
