USS Shenandoah (ZR-1)


"Crowds dispersing after launching of ZR-1" (original caption).
Those present appear to all be Sailors, most dressed in "Whites", but some in "Blues". A few are waving at the camera. These may be ground handlers at the time of Shenandoah's first flight, on 4 September 1923, or after her christening on 10 October 1923. Both events took place at Naval Air Station Lakehurst, New Jersey.
