Air ship to voyage to the north pole in 1888
A Chicago inventor claims to have solved aerial navigation and plans a large air ship for a polar voyage. The craft would carry 200 passengers, travel 70 miles per hour, and use a steel cylinder with a passenger car. Ascensional force would rely on a partial vacuum and eight electric screw propellers driven by batteries.
