   Wikipedia contains vast lists of shipwrecks organised by date. Go to the   
   page "Lists of Shipwrecks" and scroll down to "lists by date" to find   
   links to monthly pages. As you have narrowed the date range to 1840 (the   
   last child could be posthumous) to 1843 it would be a possible though   
   tedious task to read through and see if anything likely leaps out.   
   Generally only names of ships though, not crew.
