Calypso was a female orca who was captured in Pender Harbor, British Columbia, Canada on December 12, 1969.

On that same day, a group of 12 orcas got captured in Pender Harbor. Out of these, 6 were kept in captivity while the other 6 were set free.

A young female orca named Calypso, one of the captured ones, was transported to the Cleethorpes Zoo in Great Britain just 17 days after her capture. She spent several months at the zoo before being relocated to Marineland France.
