Mediterranean: Cradle or Coffin?Decades ago, Jacques Cousteau found the waters of Veyron near Marseilles teeming with marine life. Returning years later, he discovered the same sea floor to be a desert, virtually devoid of fish. Appalled at the ravages of pollution, Cousteau and crew seek scientific weapons to combat the horrors of urban wastes pouring into the Mediterranean. The explorer's find that not only is pollution to blame: man's industrial might encroaches upon the sea's most vulnerable point: shallow coastal areas that serve as natural habitats. - Calypso’s Search for the BritannicE7
Calypso’s Search for the BritannicFor 70 years, the sudden sinking of the mighty British ship Britannic - larger than the sister ship Titanic - has been shrouded in mystery. Jacques Cousteau reveals the full story of November 21, 1916 when, on her sixth journey as a hospital ship, Britannic exploded and sank into the Aegean Sea. With recollections of a survivor, then a young nurse. Cousteau and crew uncover whether the vessel was mined or torpedoed, if it secretly carried British troops and how a single mine or torpedo could sink a supposedly impregnable ship. - Diving for Roman PlunderE8
Diving for Roman PlunderMore than a century before the birth of Christ, a storm sank a Roman galley laden with plundered Greek treasures. Join Captain Cousteau and the Calypso crew in retrieving art objects from 200 feet beneath the surface - including two rare bronze statues. But this is more than an art recovery mission: an archaeologist seeks evidence supporting a theory that the Greeks may have held the key to the industrial Revolution and modern computer technology. - Blind Prophets of Easter IslandE9
Blind Prophets of Easter IslandSince the Polynesian island's discovery in 1722, the lost, ancient civilization of Easter Island has left a baffling legacy of riddles. Jacques Cousteau and the Calypso crew undertake land and underwater explorations and interview leading experts. Among the questions they tackle: who created the ancient once-revered stone figures? Why do volcanic rock drawings show trees and flowers when virtually none exist today? Why is there evidence of cannibalism in a once peaceful and flourishing society? - Clipperton: The Island Time ForgotE10
Clipperton: The Island Time ForgotToday, the only inhabitants of this environmentally inhospitable Pacific island are birds and crabs. Yet over 80 years ago, Clipperton hosted other visitors: a demented rapist and a terrified group of women and children. Cousteau returns to the island to recreate the deadly series of events - from the death of the brave French captain to the courage of the widow who killed her torturer - through the eyes of one of the survivors, then a child. - Lost Relics of the SeaE11
Lost Relics of the SeaJacques Cousteau and the Calypso crew journey across two seas - mediterrean and Caribbean - to recover the remains of great ships. Off northern Crete they find skulls, scattered bones and round pellets of grape-shot fired in a 300-year-old battle and at another site, 1st-century Roman jars. Their biggest wreck is uncovered at Martinique. In 1902, 30,000 people died when Mount Pele erupted and a harbor of ships disappeared into the depths. But at 150 feet, Cousteau's divers sight the Roraima - broken in two but intact. - Warm-Blooded Sea: Mammals of the DeepE12
