Calypso (ship)

Several vessels have been named Calypso for the figure from Greek mythology.

  • Calypso was a snow of 47 tons (bm), built in Dublin in 1792.[1] On 21 June 1796 she sailed, probably from Liverpool, as a slave ship in the triangular trade in enslaved people.[2] "Renau's squadron" captured her on the Windward Coast of Africa; her master ransomed her.[3] She then completed her voyage, arriving at Barbados on 1 June 1797 with 79 slaves.[2] She then disappears from online records.
  • Calypso, of 190 tons (bm), was built in Bermuda in 1795.[4] The Sierra Leone Company purchased her circa 1796 to support their settlement in Sierra Leone. A French privateer under Spanish colours captured Calypso, Cole, master, in February 1798 as Calypso was going down the Gold Coast from Sierra Leone.[5]
  • RV Calypso is a former British Royal Navy minesweeper converted into a research vessel for the oceanographic researcher Jacques Cousteau, equipped with a mobile laboratory for underwater field research. She was severely damaged in 1996 and was planned to undergo a complete refurbishment in 2009–2011.
