		<description><![CDATA[Video Script The Hindenburg&#8216;s &#8220;A&#8221; deck was the place where most everything happened&#8211;eating, dining, sleeping, lounging, sightseeing. Dining Area As we walk up the stairs from the &#8220;B&#8221; Deck, we go towards the Dining Area.  There were only a few tables in the Dining area, and meals were served in shifts, much on a train.  But you&#8217;ll notice the generous spacing between the tables. And that&#8217;s something you find a lot on the Hindenburg:  lots of open space. Promenade On the other side of a low wall was the promenade&#8211;for sitting or leaning against the rail to watch the Atlantic Ocean pass far below. Lounge Area On the other side of the &#8220;A&#8221; Deck&#8211;separated by the passenger cabins&#8211;was a similar space, but it had a different purpose.  This was the Lounge area with another large open space and aluminum chairs and tables.  The piano was largely aluminum and pigskin and weighed around 400 pounds. Reading/Writing Room For a little private time, there was a Reading/Writing room in back.  Passengers could browse the small collection of books or write letters or postcards at the small writing desks. Passenger Cabins Finally, at night there were 25 passenger cabins with bunks that could [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the best, and cheapest, books that I have ever had about the Hindenburg is called Hindenburg: an Illustrated History, by Rick Archbold, with paintings by Ken Marschall. The art is too beautiful to even talk about in this space. But because one interest of Invisible Themepark is cutaways, let&#8217;s look at one cutaway of the “A” Deck of the Hindenburg. The Hindenburg&#8217;s Cabins On the “A” Deck were 25 passenger cabins that had two beds apiece, in bunk-like fashion. The walls between the cabins were fairly thin, just foam and a layer of fabric. The cabins could be quite noisy if you had a loud tenant in the adjoining room. Unlike the outer cabins in a cruise ship, none of these cabins in the Hindenburg had windows. The cabins were not a space where you spent a lot of time. Most time was spent in the more spacious public rooms. Public Spaces:  Promenade, Dining, Lounge, and Reading Room On either side of the “A” Deck were promenades where passengers could sit or stand while looking out at the angled windows to the ground or clouds moving below. On one side was the large six-table dining room, hardly the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Zeppelins, despite their mammoth size, are by nature secretive modes of transport.  Even when they plied the skies on a regular basis, zeppelins were largely misunderstood by the general public.  I think I will puke if I read another book with an overly simplistic wrap-up like this: And the the fiery destruction of the Hindenburg effectively marked the end of the airship age.  The End. God bless my Time-Life Books Epic of Flight series book, The Giant Airships, but that&#8217;s pretty much the neat &#8216;n&#8217; tidy way they wrap up this whole, complicated saga.  Nothing is that neat.  There were many factors that contributed to the demise of airship travel (or I should say lull, since it is starting to come back) in the late 1930s.  One tiny factor, out of perhaps hundreds, is the fact that helium, the heavier but safer gas, came mainly from two sources:  the U.S. and Russia.  In other words, not in Germany.  But I digress. That said, let&#8217;s look at one super-cool, secret part of the airships:  the sub-cloud or spy basket. Sub-Cloud Facts As one crewman described the experience of being in a sub-cloud: There I hung, exactly as if I had been [...]]]></description>
