Article Title and/or Image Caption (Dublin Core): Floating Hangar for Airships; Caption: Adapted for water use, the landing hangar rests on pontoons. The head section, with its conical hood, ends in a pointed bow like that of a ship. Anchored at the bow, the entire structure naturally swings head into the wind. On each side of the platform deck formed by the pontoon sections is a series of masts. Between opposite masts flat, flexible slings are suspended, passing under the hull of the airship into the form of a cradle. The airship is held fast in this cradle by cables extending vertically from the sides of the hull to mooring rings on the platform deck. A wireless station is mounted at the top of the conical hood
