The Hindenburg used Hydrogen because the US had a monopoly on Helium. Hydrogen is by far more common than Helium or the other gases lighter than air. Since H2 is the lightest element, it has the greatest lifting capabilities. The US did not nor does it now have a monopoly on Helium it's just that the US found that He is a minor constituent of certain natural gas fields and learned to separate it from the methane ethane mixture.

How might electrolysis be used to raise the hull of a sunken ship?
A lead acid battery produces oxygen bubbles and hydrogen bubbles when it is being charged. A way to use this principle is to use two electrodes (pieces of metal) seperated from each other in the water. Then hook them up to a source of direct current (DC) electricity. You need to connect the positive to one electrode and the other to the negative. When the electricity is applied hydrogen bubbles will form on one electrode and oxygen bubbles on the other. These could be trapped in a flotation bag to lift the ship. It would take a massive amount of electricity to produce enough bubbles to lift a ship but it would work.
