Calypso's Search for the Britannic with Jacques Cousteau
CAPTAIN COUSTEAU and the crew of Calypso search the Aegean Sea for the wreck of the Britannic, sister fhip to the ill-fated Titanic. How the Britannic, which was pressed into service as a hospital ship during the First World War, sank -whether by mine or torpedo-was still a mystery.
COUSTEAU talks to some of the survivors and takes one of them, 86-year-old Mrs Macbeth Mitchell of Edinburgh, who was a young nurse °n the ship, to revisit the wrecked Britannic in the diving saucer. What she and the crew of Calypso discover in the depths of the sea helps to solve this 62-year-old mystery. written and narrated by THEODORE STRAUSS
