A 68-year-old volunteer working Sunday to prepare the museum ship Star of India to set sail died after falling 40 to 50 feet, the San Diego County medical examiner said.
Gregory Vance Gushaw, a Coronado resident and retired naval officer, fell from the yard of a mast, hit his head on the shrouds of the ship and plunged into the water, according to the medical examiner.
He was rescued from the water and revived briefly, but was declared dead on arrival at a local hospital.
