Bob Sanders has done a study of mariners in the 1881 census, and you might get lucky searching his website:
www.angelfire.com/de/BobSanders/81Intro.html
and
www.angelfire.com/de/BobSanders/Man81.html (and 5 more IoM sections, as well as numerous UK ports).
I have had better results searching each section separately rather than using the "Search" facility.
