Sweetwater can sell a million of these RED Cousteau trademark caps! The Cousteau Society! Calypso, an icon transformed by Cousteau into an oceanographic vessel is being restored where she will be the ambassador of the seas and oceans, under the direction of Cousteau's widow, Francine.

Calypso, originally a minesweeper for the British Royal Navy in World War II named just a bunch of letters and numbers—BYMS-26, then after the war, she was renamed Calypso for a sea nymph in Homer’s Odyssey. Now, Sweetwater is putting her in a film to sail a fortune run in memory of Captain Cousteau and John Denver who wrote the song Calypso while he was aboard the ship with Captain Cousteau in 1975. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZonmQZG0GQ

It was approximately three o’clock in the afternoon, in the port of Singapore, January 8, 1996, when a barge, in the process of being moved, seriously damaged Calypso just as she was about to depart for a Yellow River expedition. Her hull perforated, the grand old lady who had traveled through so many challenges heeled over and sank. The hearts of all her crew members over the years sank with her. It took 17 days to get the ship out of the water. Forever wounded, proud Calypso was now headed for one last mission: to bear witness for future generations of the extraordinary life of Captain Cousteau, who died just days after she was pulled up from sinking. Born of war, Calypso has become the messenger of peace and of protecting the water planet for future generations. Sweetwater's film script 'The Life and Times of Sanders' is in the hands of a higher power.

EXT. DECK OF SHIP - SAME

There are CREWMEMBERS scattered around the ship. CAPTAIN COUSTEAU and JOHN are in SHINY BLACK WETSUITS, FLIPPERS, and GEAR strapped onto their backs standing on the deck of the ship. John has a 35MM UNDERWATER CAMERA hanging around his neck. They’re holding their GOGGLES in their hands. They’re having a conversation before they dive into the water. Captain Cousteau motions at the deck and railings of the ship they are standing on.

CAPTAIN JACQUES COUSTEAU
(French accent)
She’s come a long way from where I found her in 1950.

JOHN
Where did you find her, Captain Cousteau?

CAPTAIN JACQUES COUSTEAU
In a Malta dockyard. I lease her for the symbolic fee of one franc a year. She was a minesweeper for the British Royal Navy in World War II named just a bunch of letters and numbers—BYMS-26, then after the war, she was renamed Calypso for a sea nymph in Homer’s Odyssey. Now you tell your song, John.

JOHN
Aye Calypso the places you’ve been to, the things that you’ve shown us, the stories you tell.

Captain Cousteau and John take the plunge into the ocean swimming deep with the fish and the sea creatures surrounded by sea vegetation filmed underwater. It’s a beautiful scene.
