In French Wikipedia article, there is a bit more information, but still it is rather old and the fate of the ship is therefore unknown:
"On April 1, 2016, Calypso arrived in a Turkish protection hangar, where on the night of September 11 to 12, 2017, she suffered a fire that consumed her wooden hull: the metal parts (engine, dead works, gangway, chimney, observation bulb) were, however, salvageable.
Since the fire, the wooden hull has, thanks to insurance, been rebuilt to the state it was in at the time of the disaster, but work has once again been halted, and it now seems less costly to completely rebuild a new Calypso - since we have all the detailed plans - than to restore the degraded equipment from Izmit, much of which is not original. However, the very idea of preserving this once-mythical ship, which has circumnavigated the globe several times, either in port or on land, to enable the general public to discover her many aspects and assess her evolution, is contested by a number of voices who believe that it would be more worthy of her history - and less costly - to turn her into an underwater biodiversity refuge and diving spot."
