To add a little to Briteyes' answer, Nolan wasn't precisely sentenced to life aboard ship--he was stripped of his citizenship (hence the story's title, The Man Without a Country). Since he was not a citizen of any nation, he wasn't really able to go to any country--Nolan would have been an illegal alien anywhere.
So, while the sentence didn't specifically state he had to remain at sea for the rest of his life, that was the effect of losing his citizenship.

The character's name was Philip Nolan (and it was "Damn the United States" that got him exiled).
