Apart from Hurin and Zimraphel, the only one who perished in the sea is Amroth, and Nimrodel is implied to still be alive. But there is no child mentioned in their tale.

Wait, the speaker might not be a person.....

Maybe it's Nienor and Turin. I know that Turin took his own life with a sword, and later the sea swallowed Beleriand.....but Tol-Morwen remained, so that can't be it.

It's not, and you're not right about them being the only ones who died in the Sea.

I can tell you that it is.

Nope. Bear in mind that 'I languish in the haven' has to be after 'I lost him to the Sea'.

I found another who perished at sea, and who happened to have a wife.

Firiel and Arvedui or Elwing and Earendil.

I am Firiel, and he is Arvedui Last-King. It seems entirely reasonable to think that Firiel would have travelled to the haven at Imladris with her son while her husband was on the run.

Over to you.
