Today in history...
Born June 11th 1910: Jacques-Yves Cousteau, French oceanic explorer, filmaker, author and inventor of the aqualung. His legendary research and expedition vessel, the Calypso sank in a Singapore harbour in 1996, the result of a mooring accident. Carnival Cruises bought the ship and is currently refurbishing it at a shipyard in the Bahamas. Work is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2005.
A former American minesweeper, the Calypso will maintain its French flag and remain a symbol of the extraordinary work of Captain Cousteau and the Cousteau Society, which carries on his work in science, education and public awareness.
