Larger than three 747’s parked nose to tail, almost four times as long as than Howard Hughes’s Spruce Goose and just a few feet short of the Titanic, the U.S.S. Macon was the high-tech wonder of its day. A rigid, lighter-than-air dirigible used by the Navy to extend the scouting range of its fleet, the Macon weighed over 200 tons and had an aluminum alloy skeleton underneath its canvas skin. It was kept aloft by 12 helium-filled gas cells, which, though not flammable and therefore safer than hydrogen, were also more costly and less efficient. The Macon was also the last of its kind when it crashed off California’s Big Sur coast in February 1935. Severe weather caused a massive structural failure in the Macon’s tail section, shearing off its dorsal fin and puncturing two of its helium gas cells.

  • California History Online | the Physical Setting
    Chapter 1: The Physical Setting Regions and Landforms: Let's take a trip The land surface of California covers almost 100 million acres. It's the third largest of the states; only Alaska and Texas are larger. Within this vast area are a greater range of landforms, a greater variety of habitats, and more species of plants and animals than in any area of comparable size in all of North America. California Coast The coastline of California stretches for 1,264 miles from the Oregon border in the north to Mexico in the south. Some of the most breathtaking scenery in all of California lies along the Pacific coast. More than half of California's people reside in the coastal region. Most live in major cities that grew up around harbors at San Francisco Bay, San Diego Bay and the Los Angeles Basin. San Francisco Bay San Francisco Bay, one of the finest natural harbors in the world, covers some 450 square miles. It is two hundred feet deep at some points, but about two-thirds is less than twelve feet deep. The bay region, the only real break in the coastal mountains, is the ancestral homeland of the Ohlone and Coast Miwok Indians. It became the gateway for newcomers heading to the state's interior in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Tourism today is San Francisco's leading industry. San Diego Bay A variety of Yuman-speaking people have lived for thousands of years around the shores of San Diego Bay. European settlement began in 1769 with the arrival of the first Spanish missionaries.

  • Case Study: Point Sur State Marine Reserve and Marine Conservation Area Read the Case Study Below
    Case Study: Point Sur State Marine Reserve and Marine Conservation Area Read the case study below. Use the Case Studies Comparison worksheet to record important information about the Marine Protected Area (MPA). As you read, think about how the two MPAs are similar to or different from one another. With its 1,770-kilometer (1,100-mile) coastline, it is no surprise California has one of the most extensive networks of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the United States. The state has three types of MPAs: state marine reserves, state marine parks, and state marine conservation areas. California’s Central Coast, the area between Monterey Bay in the north and Point Conception in the south, also has mixed-use state marine recreational management areas. Mixed-use areas incorporate scientific, educational, recreational, and commercial activities. The Point Sur State Marine Reserve and the Point Sur State Marine Conservation Area are located next to each other near the small Central Coast town of Big Sur. The reserve touches the shoreline, and the conservation area is part of the open ocean just outside the reserve. Together, they cover about 50 square kilometers (19 square miles) of marine habitats. Key habitats protected by the two MPAs include a large kelp forest, an offshore rocky reef, and the underwater Sur Canyon. These diverse habitats provide niches for numerous species of fish, seabirds, marine mammals, and invertebrates such as crab, shrimp, and mussels. How Point Sur Became a State Marine Reserve and Marine Conservation Area In 1999, California passed the Marine Life Protection Act. The act required the state to evaluate existing MPAs and possibly design new ones.

  • USS Macon (ZRS-5) Was a Rigid Airship Built and Operated by the United States Navy for Scouting. She Served As a "Flying Ai
    March/April 2012 USS USS Macon (ZRS-5) was a rigid airship built and operated by the United States Navy for scouting. She served as a "flying aircraft carrier", launching Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk biplane fighters. USS Macon was built at the Goodyear Airdock in Springfield Township, Ohio, by the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation. Because this was by far the biggest airship ever to be built in America, a team of experienced German airship engineers—led by Chief Designer Karl Arnstein—instructed and supported design and construction of both U.S. Navy airships Akron and Macon.(sister ships) The airship was named after the city of Macon, GA. Macon was christened on March 11, 1933 by Jeanette Whitton Moffett, wife of Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, Chief of the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics. The airship first flew one month later, shortly after the tragic loss of her sister ship Akron. Macon was commissioned on June 23, 1933 with Commander Alger H. Dresel in command. Designed to carry five F9C Sparrowhawk biplanes, Macon received her first aircraft on board July 6, 1933 during trial flights out of Lakehurst, NJ. The planes were stored in bays inside the hull and were launched and retrieved using a trapeze. Departing the East Coast on October 12, Macon's homefield became Naval Air Station (NAS) Sunnyvale (now Moffett Federal Airfield) in Santa Clara County, CA. Macon had a far more productive career than her sister ship, Akron. Macon's commanders developed the doctrine and techniques of using her aircraft to do scouting while the airship remained out of sight of the opposing forces in exercises.
