- PhasmaFelis 8y agoYeah, that's weird. "Morrell constructed a 450-foot spacecraft at the Morrell Airship Company on Market Street. The craft was designed to run by gasoline engines powering wooden propeller blades draped with oiled silk." I supposed it's possible that was an accepted term in 1908, but this article was written in 2012, so I have to assume it was an error.
- larkeith 8y agoI'd taken that to be a commentary on the unusual shape and general uniqueness of the airship - especially for 1908.
