The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau: Truk Lagoon

#expeditioncruising .

Lagoon of Lost Ships






 In 1969 Cousteau and his crew came to Chuuk to film an episode of the now famous Undersea World series. While Cousteau himself only came for a few days, his crew stayed for two months, eventually leaving with tonnes of 'relics' salvaged from the previously undisturbed wrecks. Those relics, believed to still be in the Cousteau family somewhere, have never been seen since.
