Funny, you can buy the model, which I set the Cousteau Society receives royalities. But, try to find the current status of the Calypos restoration...nothing there !!!!!!!
Yeah I've been searching for the restoration completion but I don't think they finished it. I read something about financial trouble with the shipyard it was at, so I think whatever happened it never got done, or they're still trying, cause if it was completed they'd surely want to show the world again. I've searched everywhere and it's like the project just vanished. BTW, if you've not heard of the restoration of The Aurora, a pocket cruise ship a guy bought on Craig's list and is now slowly restoring, imagine an entire cruise ship from 1955. Three things, it was the ship that inspired the Love Boat, it was the ship SPECTRE used on James Bonds From Russia With Love, and it was the very first ship Germany was allowed to build after WW2, it's a great story and many vids of their progress. Anyway, it might be of interest.
