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.

One day, while horseback riding, Jacques's horse threw him to the ground. Jacques refused to ride for the rest of the summer.
