Found a little "treasure" in the local antique store...a series of books by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and Philippe Diole. The titles and library of Congress #s or w/ISBNs are below (publication tracking must have changed about this time) and I think this is the whole series. Please let me know if you're aware of more.
The series dates from 1970-1974, was translated and printed to English in Germany. Kool part is the technology, pix and an outstanding series of appendices that describe current (70's anyway) knowledge of sea-life to drawings of the Calypso's layout (I didn't know it was a former mine sweeper).
Anyway...pretty neat to recount the same info I saw on a black&white TV in West Texas back in the 60's. I've got a whole new appreciation for it now. Hope you find some for your library...really enjoying mine.
