Shown taking on fuel at its mooring mast, the Graf Zeppelin is generally considered to be the most successful airship in history. She was retired after the spectacular explosion of her sister ship the Hindenburg at Lakehurst, N.J. on May 6, 1937. In all the Graf Zeppelin completed 590 flights, successfully carrying more than 13,100 passengers. She made the first round the world flight in 1929 and provided regularly scheduled passenger service between Germany and South America from 1933 through 1937.
