Vintage Calypso Jacques Cousteau 50th Anniversary 1942-1992 Lapel Pin

Few vessels are as closely associated with ocean exploration as Calypso, the legendary research ship commanded by the famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. Originally built as a British minesweeper during World War II, Calypso was converted into an oceanographic research vessel in 1950 and went on to become one of the most recognizable ships in the history of marine exploration.
For decades, Calypso served as the floating laboratory for Cousteau and his team, helping introduce millions to the wonders of the underwater world through groundbreaking expeditions, films, and television documentaries.
