Next click on 'subjects' and enter "Merchant Marine" (include quotes) and click 'search'. There you can access all the Merchant Marine records we have. I hope this was helpful.

It looks like United States Merchant Marine records are held at the National Archives. Check out this website for more information: https://www.archives.gov/research/military/coast-guard/merchant-marine-personnel
You can also get information about how to locate these records at NARA here: https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/merchant-seamen-serving-since-1918/
Ancestry has a collection of Merchant Seaman that were lost in WWI. That collection is here: https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/60552/
You could also try a google search. Sometimes that brings up collections you didn't know existed.

His was born Sidney S Weill but he changed his surname to “DeWeel.” I don’t know when he changed it. He was born 4 April 1899 in Cincinnati Ohio. According to his prison record, he served in the Merchant Marines in the year 1918-1919. Thank you for your help. He left when my mother was two years old and she would never talk about him as at that age, she didn’t really know him.
