The purpose of this site is to create and learn. We are creating a story and learning how to collaborate together. We look forward to your contribution. This is not meant to be an historically accurate documentation, but a fictionalized story based on the events.
The airships of the 1900’s are an amazing engineering success. To consider that the automobile was just beginning to become a reality in our world, the Wright brothers had just flown, but the builders of the airships were actually sailing cross Atlantic flights on a regular schedule, has always impressed. We will use this site to create a story based on the history of this accomplishment. Our goal is to learn, have fun visualizing, and storyboarding a fictionalized version of the events, struggles, and success of the men and women that actually accomplished the Hindenburg Project.
The Hindenburg project, was an enormous undertaking, even today it would be an enormous project. Consider the era, engineering, teamwork, planning, financing, politics, manufacturing, transporting, testing, navigation, mistakes, and successes. To navigate the atmosphere in a ship capable of transporting a crew and their supplies, passengers and their gear, and a hundred thousand pounds of paying cargo.
We enjoy seeing this story and this site manifest. Thank you
