The site header graphic shows a blueprint of the USS Shenandoah (ZR-1, inboard profile #1) plus the ring cross section of a "Type g" early German Zeppelin such as LZ-11 (Viktoria Luise) or LZ-13 (Hansa).

The Shenandoah blueprint is available from the Smithsonian. The ring cross section came from a low-res scan of a patent office document, presumable from Germany prior to WWI.
