September 2015 NA RR - Fire & Ice

“Fire & Ice: Hindenburg and Titanic,” was an exhibit at the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum. Titanic and Hindenburg served demands for rapid worldwide communication and transportation. Both operated as the world’s largest mobile post offices. Each in its day promised the fastest possible worldwide mail service. Each offered onboard gentility and opulence. Each met a tragic end.

This would have been such an amazing exhibit to see!  Thank you, Susan!  I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
