Calypso ( Commandant COUSTEAU)

Tristesse de voir l’étrave de la Calypso du Commandant Cousteau fatiguée et se mourrant lentement sur un Quai de Concarneau alors qu’elle a survécu à tant de coups de mer, sans compter les photos nombreuses prises à l’époque ou elle navigait, soit du bas, de l’intérieur de son bulbe d’étrave ou du haut à la proue du navire . Quel gachis ;-(

The bow and stem of the Calypso, the World wide known name of the Ship of the famous Commandant Cousteau, an Explorer of the Sea in the world.

When the Ship was in duty, numerous photos were taken from the upper part of the bow used as a view point. At the lower part of the stem was set a tiny room with a thick glass were frequently a photographer lying on his belly took pictures underwater.

A pity to see what is happening now to this proud Ship waiting to be repaired on a shipyard in Concarneau, France
