...seven research vessels that tied up at Manhattan piers, the most romantic was the Calypso of France, commanded by handsome Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau, famed underwater explorer and author of The Silent World. Displayed on her deck were weird bits of equipment: submarine scooters, deep-sea motion-picture-taking devices called "halibuts," and an anti-shark cage. In her hold was a Diving Saucer, a two-man submarine designed to follow the ocean bottom down...
...Much bigger (5,960 tons) than most Western research ships, she carries a complement of 131, of whom 71 are scientists. She can stay at sea for four months instead of the five weeks that is average for U.S. vessels. Her equipment is lavish, e.g., six deep-sea winches instead of the customary single one.

"I like to swim and ski and deep-sea fish, all strictly restricted in the U.S. Here I can step into my car and drive wherever I like, certain that at the end of the day I will find a good hotel and a good restaurant, and that I can sit down without attracting the slightest attention, or exciting curiosity. In Sweden, that's still another matter; they run after you there. I can do without...
