Just a thought, If he was serving on a Ship regardless of destination there would be a manifest, now if he was lost at sea on a local fishing boat, depending on what they were fishing for his death would possibly be reported by survivors. !890's I believe the Whaling trade was still quite active,one of the methods was to site the whales from shore then go after them in "small boats". I believe they used more than one of these when hunting the Whale ( quite dangerous ). So it could of been a whaling accident,still possible the death was reported. Maybe João Ventura can add to the customs of the local Whalers.
