What is the name of Jacques Cousteau's ship?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Calypso. The craft is still extant, tied up somewhere. She was converted from a small French Minesweeper- thus an ocean-going craft. an odd Cousteau feature was a pulpit bow- an observation station- dry from which crewmen and/or cameramen could photograph sea life and observe same while the ship was underway- with a slight speed penalty from drag, one would imagine. This device was probably patented and was shown to advantage in the film ( The silent world) original French title more accurately translated-The World Of Silence- which has a sort of religious, monkish tone.No, I do not mean Monk seals, which are anything but silent-chanting!

Asked by Wiki User

No!!!

Jacques-Yves Cousteau died on 25 June 1997 in Paris, aged 87. Despite persistent rumors, encouraged by some Islamic publications and websites, Cousteau did not convert to Islam, and when he died he was buried in a Roman Catholic Christian funeral.[14] He was buried in the family vault at Saint-André-de-Cubzac in France. An homage was paid to him by the city by the inauguration of a "rue du Commandant Cousteau", a street which runs out to his native house, where a commemorative plaque was affixed.
