Something else to consider it may not have been a shipwreck,he could have died of some malady. In the later he would probably have been buried at sea. I would first try to find out what ship he was on, then I would look for the ships manifest or the Captains log. A death underway would be listed there. Maybe one of the listers knows a source for Ship records,perhaps a Maritime Museum could point you in the right direction.
