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).
