Forshaws of Maughold, 3

I have Alexander Sutherland, father of Mary Ann Sutherland who married Henry Forshaw in 1861. On the marriage certificate for Henry and Mary, Alexander's profession is given as 'ship carpenter'. It is thought that Alexander died at sea. I have been unable to find a record of his death. Can any one assist please
Thanks, Peter.
