Any idea where he was lost at sea? That would be a good beginning point. Then you could type in that area on www.google.com and see what kind of resources there are for records, including the rootsweb lists. According to oral history a friend's grandfather died at sea. She finally unearthed his death certificate and some other records from the tiny island of Saba in the Carribean, where he'd originally been from, and it seems he died during the 1917/18 flu epidemic and is actually buried in Cuba. There was more detail in the paperwork, but that's the nutshell version. Good luck!
