Hello Cathy,
See also your other post. viewtopic.php?f=54&p=140966#p140966
It seems that a Boatman would have needed to have a license to work in that field. Which organization in Scotland or elsewhere would have regulated waterways, ferries etc around Dunoon prior to 1970? Possibly it was the British Waterways Board. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Waterways
Dunoon seems to have been only a small place, perhaps if there was a local newspaper something about his death would have appeared in it. Maybe you could ‘Ask a Librarian’. http://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/forms/ask-librarian
All the best,
Alan
