He may be on the central registers of merchant seamen at the National Archives at Kew. These are on microfiche and you need to visit to see them. I say that he may be, this is because there was a long period up to about 1912 where no central records were kept.

The crew lists mentioned above provide the detail but you need at least one ship to start from, and then it is possible to trace others.

If you can't get to Kew, I could have a look for you next time I go, but probably not until mid March.
