Hindenburg History To Be Reviewed At Manchester Library

MANCHESTER –The history of the ill-fated Hindenburg airship will be the subject of a program at the township library on November 21.

The adult program will run from 2 to 3:30 p.m. and is being sponsored by the Friends of the Manchester Library. The presenter is Bill Schmidt who is a member of the Lakehurst Historical Society.

Schmidt said, “come and experience the last flight of the Hindenburg from Frankfurt, Germany to Lakehurst, in 1937.”

“At 803.8 feet in length and 135.1 feet in diameter, the German passenger airship Hindenburg (LZ-129) was the largest aircraft ever to fly. The commercial flights of the Hindenburg, along with Graf Zeppelin, pioneered the first transatlantic air service,” he added.

Schmidt noted that the Hindenburg carried hundreds of passengers and traveled thousands of miles before it burned in a tragic fire on May 6, 1937, at NAS Lakehurst (Manchester Township).

“Join us through your imagination on a trip through Hindenburg’s history,” Schmidt said. He has presented Hindenburg history programs at various venues over the years including schools and various clubs and organizations as well as at the Lakehurst Historical Society Museum on Center Street in Lakehurst each month.

Registration for this program will begin on October 24. Visit the Ocean County Library website for registration and program information at https://www. theoceancountylibrary.org
