There are a number of Merchant Marine sites you can check out online. One major site is: http://www.usmm.org/index.html
I have done research on there myself. My dad and his all four of his brothers were in the Merchant Marines for years and all served during WWII. One died during the war & his "grave" marker in Portsmouth, VA has the longitude & latitude of where he went down. His body was never recovered.
You may find something.
I also found saw your other request about your grandfather's grave site. You might check http://www.findagrave.com/
Good Luck on your searches.
