History Detectives: Seadrome

Nearly 14 years before Lindbergh's flight, a lone inventor had proposed a technology he believed would safely carry air passengers across the ocean in comfort, rivaling the day's luxurious steamships. Our contributor believes a collection of photos and badges links his family to this extraordinary dream. History Detectives investigates what happened to a fantastic engineering marvel.
