Relive 'The Hindenburg Experience' at the Ocean County Library Lacey Branch

originally published: 10/17/2024

(LACEY TOWNSHIP, NJ) -- When airships ruled the skies, the Hindenburg reigned supreme – until its fiery crash 87 years ago in Lakehurst, NJ. Navy Lakehurst Historical Society member Bill Schmidt will describe its final flight in "The Hindenburg Experience Talk" at the Ocean County Library Lacey Branch on Thursday, November 14, 2024. The event begins at 3:30pm.

Measuring nearly 804 feet in length, the Hindenburg was the largest aircraft ever to fly, carrying hundreds upon hundreds of passengers and traveling thousands of miles. What triggered the disaster of May 6, 1937? What was the cost in human lives? How did it alter the future of global air travel? Bill Schmidt will dig into the details.

The Navy Lakehurst Historical Society maintains a museum of artifacts salvaged from the dirigible and a reconstruction of its bridge on the grounds of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, within view of the spot of the devastation which is marked by a plaque.
