The Graf Zeppelin is considered the finest airship ever built. It flew more miles than any airship had done to that time or would in the future.

Can sombody tell me where the Graf Zeppelin was on March 16 – 1935. Is it possible that the ship on that moment flew in the neighbourhood of Rotterdam in the Netherlands?

According to Harold Dick, LZ-127 had a dead-weight of approx. 150,000 lbs and total lift of approx. 210,000 lbs, for a useful lift of approx. 60,000 lbs.

Hi Dan!!!
You have the most wonderful website. I wanted to ask you a question: how much did the Graf Zeppelin weigh? As lift weight is: 191,799 lbs , but the useful lift would really be: total lift- wight of ship. I know the Hindenburg could carry a bit over 100 tons of extra weight (which was amazing, even by todays standards) I know the Graf didn’t really have a very large payload due to it’s limited ammount of lift due to it’s physcical limitations + Blau gas taking a large part of it’s volume as fuel for the ship.
Thanks.

This site is wonderful! Zeppelins have always fascinated me, been trying to get a copy of the movie ‘Dirigible’ for a long time (Region2 – UK). Do you think that these wonderful machines will ever fly commercially again? I know there are some smaller ones flying around Friedrichafen.
