Hindenburg Aims For Record Crossing To United States
The Hindenburg airship, en route from Friedrichshafen to America, hoped to reach Lakehurst New Jersey by 7 p m tomorrow completing a 63 12 hour crossing. Captain Ernest Lehmann praised favorable weather and the ship’s ability to rise above clouds as it neared the Grand Banks with rain and headwinds encountered earlier. Dr Hugo Eckener noted passengers enjoyed views and water ballast helped offset fuel use as the crew anticipated a swift arrival, possibly beating a French liner’s record.
