Who Was Jacques Cousteau? In 1920, ten-year-old Jacques Cousteau and his family were living in New York City. Jacques and his older brother, Pierre-Antoine, liked playing stickball in the street outside their apartment on West Ninety-Fifth Street. But besides stickball, Jacques was not a sports fan. He was skinny and sickly, and shy around other kids. Pierre-Antoine was his best friend. That summer, the brothers were sent away to camp in Vermont. One day, while horseback riding, Jacques's horse threw him to the ground. Jacques refused to ride for the rest of the summer.
