Description | Cartoon shows a U.S. Navy dirigible crashing in the ocean during a thunderstorm. The caption reflects the familiar line from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer regarding "They that go down to the sea in ships." On April 3, the U.S.S. Akron, the largest and finest dirigible airship in the world, crashed during a storm off the coast of New Jersey. All but 3 of the 77 men aboard were lost. |
