Monck Masons Airship
The Victoria, an early airship built by English aviator Thomas Monck Mason, 1843. American author Edgar Allan Poe (1809 - 1849) used Monck Mason and his airship as the basis for his famous Balloon Hoax in which he wrote an article in the New York Sun, 13th April 1844, claiming Monck Mason had crossed the Atlantic in the Victoria in three days.
