Description:
To South America in 3 Days! General
Agency of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin,
Hamburg-America Line.
Graf Zeppelin was the most
successful commercial dirigible,
carrying more than 13,000 passengers
during its nine year career from
1928 to 1937. The trip from
Frankfurt to Pernambuco, Brazil took
3 days in this luxurious airship
modeled after a first class ocean
liner. The passenger could pass the
travelling time in the dining room,
lounge, bar, or in their own cabins
fitted with day couches that
converted into beds at night. Graf
Zepelin went out of service after
the Hindenburg disaster in 1937.
