My love for unusual vehicles was definitely kick-started by Jacques Cousteau's amazing exploration vessel the Calypso. A wonderful, unique ship with so much history.
I recently made a documentary about her and it's almost crossed a half a million views! 🤯
I think the most surprising thing to most people is that the Calypso is American! She was launched in 1942 at Ballard Marine near Seattle as a YMS-class minesweeper.
YMS's were sturdy, adaptable wee ships built in their hundreds throughout the war.
