Help - trying to locate a book - last line - he died with his boots on (or similar)

Unread post

I read a book years ago something along the lines of a guy on an old sailing ship fell overboard and the whole book was the recapping of his life story, however, the book ending was something like "poor bugger did not even have time to get his boots off" he had obviously drowned very quickly and someone found him washed up.

This has bugged me for years as I have tried to track this book down. Any help would be much appreciated. I read the book at school in England - I think. Many thanks - fellow avid reader. GBW
