The riggers who risked their lives to repair the torn fabric on the top and bottom of the port fin were among the heroes of the Graf's epic flight. One of them was Ludwig Knorr. He was one of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin's earliest employees, predating the DELAG. He was the chief rigger aboard the Hindenburg on its last flight and died in the fire. He was 45.
The footage of the Graf on the water was on its Arctic flight where it received mail from the USSR at a rendezvous in the North. On the voyage over the Pacific she did not go down on the water.
The Honda Point disaster was the largest peacetime loss of U.S. Navy ships. On the evening of September 8, 1923, seven destroyers, while traveling at 20 knots (37 km/h), ran aground at Honda Point, a few miles from the northern side of the Santa Barbara Channel off Point Arguello on the coast in Santa Barbara County, California. Two other ships grounded, but were able to maneuver free off the rocks. Twenty-three sailors died in the disaster. Shown at 2:35
Maybe so, but Jimmy Page was impressed by the name of the blimp's inventor... but the inventor's great granddaughter wasn't happy about it, when she met the band members in skandinavia
His last novel 'Master of the world' was published in 1904 shortly before his death the following year. He would have certainly read press reports about both Count Zepellin's and Giffard's airships, possibly seen films of them and he may have seen Giffard's airship in flight? He certainly knew they were being developed.
You have your facts mixed up. The Graf completed its around the world flight in 1929 without incident. You're thinking of the flight to America in October 1928 when it encountered severe storms over the Atlantic and tore the fabric on the tail-fin. Many thought the ship was lost when no messages were received after it had to fly at reduced speed to make repairs and the wind driven generator couldn't generate enough power to send or receive messages.
As far as I am aware from another film which covered the whole trip the Graf did run into a storm in the Pacific on the round the world flight and lost contact as shown and was only located again when it reached California. Though I concede I have not read any articles from the flight confirming that or otherwise.
And a few shots of Acron crew, but I'll say overall this is engaging primer for folk's further curiosity... The dolphins chirp towards the last? I think that's the clip from the old TV show, "Flipper". I like the added sounds.
It's so refreshing to listen to vintage audio from that era without that cheesy, sensationalized South Atlantic Accent that celebrities and members of the media were required to use while broadcasting or on television! Hell the voices in this video sound almost similar to the voices of the modern public of today. Sure there is some distortions in the audio as recording equipment was very primitive back then compared to what we have now, but it is a huge improvement compared to other reels of this era!
i think the radio bits were recorded many decades later...they sound too good!! And there was no such station as "Radio San Francisco." KPO, KGO, KFRC were the big stations in town.
The only thing perilous about this damn airship was the fact that it had only *one* public room onboard, and only two toilets for twenty-four passengers (one for each gender).
Extra toilets would have meant fewer passengers. Even with the stronger lift of hydrogen there was a limit to how much weight could be carried. I prefer the Graf to the Hindenburg as her passenger areas were more traditionally decorated and looked much more homey. The Zeppelin Company managed these ships extremely well.
@@Dallas_K the USS Macon had a full crew of 86 men four airplanes mess hall with complete kitchen. Top speed of 87 miles an hour. I think there are only four bathrooms on a Boeing 747 . There is a lot of misinformation concerning blimps. intentional ? DUH .
@@Dallas_KThe limit of passengers in the case of the graf was completely due to space and not weight, as it was an earlier airship, before they began accomodating passengers in the hull. The r100 was about the same size but it could carry up to 60-90 passengers, huge increase from Graf Zeppelins 20 (later 24), and this was because they were configured in the hull rather than the gondola.

Amazing - those airships.
Vielen Dank!

Oh, on the documentary, this was the footage they showed of it.
Also at 5:32 is the Hindenburg, not Graf Zeppelin. At other points in the documentary the Los Angeles/LZ126 footage is shown as well.
I thought that footage was from the Bodensee
That's so trippy. could you imagine that giant thing just floating a couple feet off the water? it would look like magic.
Gotta be careful of seamonsters reaching up out of the water💧🚰🚿....
That footage is actually from the Bodensee, not the pacific
The captain of this voyage was Nile P Pezfarg, a brave man he was.
Very nicely put together and very evocative: well done!
Nice shot of the destroyers that ran aground at Honda Point. Has nothing to do with a storm. Some people just like putting together garbage.
The footage of the zeppelin on the water is amazing!
Two nice shots of Grace Drummond Hay as she became the first woman to travel round the world by air.

Obrigada 🙏🏻 amigo por todos esses registros
Beautiful footage,confusing story line.Don’t believe everything you see on you-tube.
That airplane ✈ sure smoked alot...
Thanks for the upload, Michael !
At 2:02 it was most interesting to see US Navy airship crewmen scrambling -- on the Graf. Footage A - Continuity D-
Das ist ja richtig gemütlich, an Board 😇
Fantástica máquina!!!
Mais um vídeo fantástico !!!!
Obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal......
Abraço do Brasil........
Amazing footage
That's some really nice story telling editing.
Jules Verne would be proud.

You are correct sir.
halarious just halarious ! wildly inaccurate! but some great footage of "G.Z."!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have a very nice comment section wow
The inspiration for a British band's new name...ha!

This plane is also strong on long journeys

ESTOS GERMANOS, SI QUE SON LA RAZA SUPERIOR POR SU CREATIVIDAD E INNOVADORES, LOS ADORO.
concordo com voçê.😎deveriam esperar uns 10 años para começar la guerra💟
What peril ? She had a long illustrious career
4:52, the Chef inspects the situation.
:,DDDD
great video! good work!
Awesome
Wow.
That's where the end fed Zepp antenna originated.
Alguém sabe me dizer se a URSS fabricava zepelins?

DUH .
One toilet per gender? There was only one woman on that round-the-World flight. So she had a toilet all to herself?

Wow. Some cool footage but made absolutely no sense. Crazy editing.
L'ho sentito! "Coriere della sera!"
Красиво и страшно
The days when you could actually disappear and then almost miraculously reappear not today with GOS
Mh370
This is fake. Those are American officers and sailors in the film . She is german and had a sucessful career
first thing i would of done is dump those type writers
Would HAVE done, or WOULD'VE done. Not "of".
2020😷
One of the antennas at my station is a Zepp. The radiation pattern is just where I want it.
I'm not hoarding toilet paper. I'm buying all these rolls because I am making a zeppelin just like my Grundmutter used to make.
ตอนนี้ล่ะแม้ได้ยินเสียงเครื่องบินยังไม่แหงนมองเลย
A culpa sao dos militares a Guerra💞Sempre
Stonk
Do you really need to say that here?
@@predatormusic2959 I don't care. I don't even know what it means.🤔😄
Awful lot of irrelevant footage thrown in.
Great images but a rag bag in terms of the story.
Rubbish. Completely innacurate.
Hard Ass Zeppelin.. 👍
