  Census	1880	Gloucester, Essex, Massachusetts, United States   [2]
  In this census, Robert Swain, age 24, and Francis Meaney, age 35, both listed as single fisherman from Newfoundland, were boarding at the home of James and Maria Galavan at 14 Tremont St. in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
  Died	abt. 23 Jan 1881	Atlantic Ocean
  Died on a ship going to, or coming from, Barbados (per Dianne Butz). Lost at Sea website - Gloucester, Massachusetts I found a record for a Robert Swain, who died about the 23rd Jan 1881 when he fell from bowsprit of the Orient, [which] last sailed from Baracoa, Cuba, for Charleston, SC. His name is supposedly recorded on the Gloucester Fisherman's Memorial Cenotaph. Since no age or other details were given in the record, I couldn't verify if this was Robert Swain from Caplin Bay, Newfoundland. (per Kevin Reddigan).
