Remarkable Balloon Bores Largest Ever Built in 1864
The Yankee Blade reports on a balloon constructed in 1860 by Eugene Godard, claiming it was the largest ever made with about half a million cubic feet of air.

It mentions Cremorne Gardens balloons of 1864 and the Géant balloon carrying 35 people, plus a long flight across France, Belgium, and Holland ending in a disastrous descent in Hanover. It also notes a 1873 attempt to cross the Atlantic with a 300 foot cubic capacity balloon that burst and a record 1150 miles in twenty hours by Wise and LaMountain from St. Louis toward New York.
