Calypso was an American-built
wooden-hulled minesweeper that had been transformed
into a fully equipped ocean exploration vessel by
Jacques-Yves Cousteau in 1950. Calypso carried
advanced equipment, including one- and two-man mini
submarines developed by Cousteau, diving saucers,
and underwater scooters. Calypso was also fitted
with a see-through "nose", an observation chamber
three meter below the waterline, and was modified to
house scientific equipment and a helicopter pad.
Jacques-Yves Cousteau, a French oceanographer whose
numerous inventions and underwater techniques have
been a significant factor in unravelling the secrets
of the sea.
