Ah, the smallest Zeppelin ever built, the Eureka. 240 feet long, capacity of twelve. Compared to the largest, the cruise liner Graf Zeppelin 2, which was 804 feet long, had a restaurant, promenade decks, a bar, a lounge, a purser's office, a smoking room, staterooms, officer's mess, washrooms, crew quarters, cargo bay, radio room, bridge, navigation room, generator room, crew lounges, a small library and a post office, all for over 100 people. And was faster at 84 mph. Some difference.

I love the aft-facing window seat. That's a bay window seat with a million dollar view. And there's a privy on board too! Next step - first class dinner while watching the sunset over LA from 3000 feet. The future is indeed bright for the airship.

If only someone would integrate cabins and the gondola into the upper envelope... I've worked on a few RC models, but don't know how much it'd cost to build one that could carry actual passengers.

Seems like a small passenger area. I wonder how many maximum passengers it can hold? Seems like it could feasibly handle a larger max capacity. I don't know squat about zeppelins though.
