Airships were only relatively briefly considered as a reliable means of transportation in the 1920s and 30s before a series of disasters put the dream to rest.

From the USS Los Angeles, Shenandoah, Akron and C8 to the LZ104; here are five dramatic airship accidents from history!

Oceanliner Designs explores the design, construction, engineering and operation of history’s greatest vessels– from Titanic to Queen Mary and from the Empress of Ireland to the Lusitania. Join maritime researcher and illustrator Michael Brady as he tells the stories behind some of history's most famous ocean liners and machines!
