The Graf Zeppelin was by far the most successful airship ever. It flew the first round the world passenger flight in 1929. This stop in Miami was in transit from Brazil (it had regular Germany-Brazil service) to Chicago for the Century of Progress World’s Fair. It flew from there to Germany via Sevilla, Spain. Graf Zeppelin, along with the Hindenberg's sister ship, Graf Zeppelin II, were dismantled in 1940.
