Welcome to Babylon 1, home of the Airship Cartouche.

Feel free to move about the ship. You will find tutorials, photos, links, and other steampunk resources that I hope you will find helpful.

Enjoy your visit.

In an airship,
one does not fly,
one does not drive.
Instead, one travels in a most beautiful way
that gives meaning to the word journey.

75 years ago, the Airship USS Macon crashed off San Francisco Bay.

Both the USS Macon and her sister ship, the Akron carried a force of biplanes that could be launched and recovered in-flight.

With the exception of two, the crew was safely rescued, and the airship and its planes remain in their final underwater resting place today.
