Herbert T. Ward died on the ship in 1975, which may have been a result of an accident. He was 46 when he died and his ashes were scattered over the Cormoran. Here's what (his daughter Gina) Anderson had to say about the reality of Herbert's death. “We could not believe that it happened because he was such an excellent diver. It took many, many years for me to believe that he died. It’s still hard to believe that he died in an accident. He was pretty invincible when it came to diving…. he’d go down everyday like he did the first day, excited about what he was going to find. I think he was digging around and …. you know… he ran out of air. There was no reserve valve on the tank and … he was too far down in the ship to get back up.”

“Even in his book, [he mentioned] he went down and he pushed it to the limit and he talked about how he almost got in trouble a couple of times…,” Gina said of his propensity to push the limit. “He did it often and he dove alone which he never should do but he did it all the time,” she concluded.
