The Hindenburg and it's rules

 



In this large German airship (before it's eventual explosion), there were some rules and regulations made for the passengers onboard:

-No smoking due to the very important fact that this was an airship probably powered by gas.
But since this was in the 1920s and most people liked to smoke wherever they liked to, there was a private and pressurised smoking room/cabin where there would be one electric lighter allotted to one passenger for the moment.

-No heavy things in bulk.
You were instructed to carry only one napkin for your use, which was also why the piano onboard was made of aluminium foil.
