Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Probably related to Los Angeles Times articles, “Blimp Volunteer Finds Mooring to Floating Mast at Harbor Easy,” 24 Feb. 1932: A3 and “Ship Could Moor Zeppelin: Patoka, Equipped to Anchor Air Liner in Emergency, Has Received No Orders to be Prepared,” 15 Oct. 1928: 2. Side view of a small passenger viewing boat, perhaps in the San Pedro Harbor during a flight of the Goodyear-Zeppelin airship (blimp) mooring on the USS Patoka. The Patoka was a Navy fleet oiler which served as the mooring ship for the short-lived Navy airship, the Shenandoah. Text from negative sleeve: United States Navy, Ships, Patoka Mooring Ship for Blimps.
