The Hindenburg was a German passenger airship, specifically a large rigid airship classified as a zeppelin. It was designed and built by the Zeppelin Company and was notable for its use of hydrogen gas for lift. The Hindenburg became famous for its tragic accident in May 1937 when it caught fire while attempting to land in Lakehurst, New Jersey, resulting in the deaths of 36 people. This disaster marked the end of the airship era for passenger travel.
