There are a lot of spellings here at Google, including bathyskape. 'Guess it depends on the country of origin. Bathyscapth shows up nowhere.

Here's a site with a very impressive progression of underwater bathys-whatevers. (But not "our" bathys-whatever).

Trieste had a diving ball (bathysphere) attached. (But Trieste itself is called a bathyscaphe). It was most famously operated by Jean-Luc -- I mean -- Jacques Piccard.

I have a 5x7 B&W photograph of the Trieste being discussed dockside by a uniformed Navy captain (four-striper) and two engineers. It was bought at an Alton yard sale, and the Trieste photo was preserved behind the primary, now long-forgotten, photograph.
