Correct - He died after leaving Haiti, heading back to Florida - I only read about that yesterday.
While I was doing searches on BBBR.com, I found that one ML (albeit FL) had been born at sea (Ed Porray in the Atlantic (or is it ON the Atlantic) on 12/5/1888) and besides Weaver, two others had died at sea:
Arthur Irwin on the Atlantic on 7/16/1921
and
Nub Kleinke on the Pacific on 3/16/1950
- since neither of those occurred during wartime, they would probably be interesting stories.
