oops no - just googled and it is 15

It must be right - the question-setter's cocked up.

Fifteen men on the dead man's chest .Yo-ho-ho, and the bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest - Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
According to R.L. Stevenson in Treasure Island.

The vast majority of quotes on Google refer to 15 men, but there are exceptions (such as, at the site given below) when one extra man appears on the scene!

The sad fact is, BLANCASTER, that quiz setters are not infallible, and sometimes the clue is not as sharp as it should be. I'd go with "16 men ..." in spite of your misgivings.

Not so sure that's true, as I found the extra man on both of these sites, plus one other from US which I can't find again
