Could you give us a timescale and if possible a name and DOB?

It will be after 1912. His name was William Fredrick Coombs and he was born in Dorset in 1875

After a quick look, I cannot find anyone with that name who died at sea. He is not mentioned on the CWGC site.
Try searching the Marine Death Indices for free at
http://www.familyrelatives.com/post_search.php
However In the past I have found these far from complete. Other than that looks like a trip to Kew.
