Oh, Merely Passing By.
You did more than enough flying for one lifetime.
Tumblr media
Now.
Your guns don't fire. Your engine doesn't thrum.
But when I speak of that day, when I point to the singes on your hull, the dents and the claw marks...
Tumblr media
People have no doubt that once, you soared.

I don't remember much except I was on a flying ship [not an airship] and characters from MLP were there. Applejack rotated the ship so far I almost fell off. [We were far above the clouds with no parachutes.]

The German-made zeppelin ZR-3 skims the tops of skyscrapers above foggy Manhattan on its way to Lakehurst, N.J., October 19, 1924. It had just flown across the Atlantic, logging 4,229 nautical miles. The Metropolitan Life Building can be seen below.
The Times reported on the scene in Lakehurst the next day: "So great was the motor traffic that numerous tie-ups developed and thousands of visitors did not reach their homes until well after midnight."
The transatlantic flight was considered an aviation triumph, and its captain and crew were given a parade up Broadway and greeted at the White House. The Atlantic would not be crossed nonstop by air again until Lindbergh's flight in May 1927.

"Colossea"
Colossea is a megayacht with a detachable superstructure, and that superstructure just happens to be a blimp. It's not just any blimp, though: it's a modern interpretation of the iconic, history-making Norge (ex N1), which marked the first verified expedition to the North Pole on May 12, 1926.
The creation of Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth was piloted to glory by Captain Umberto Nobile at a time when humanity's dream of flight was just beginning.
