EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 7 November 1836, presents the Nassau balloon, piloted by the renowned English aeronaut Charles Green, soaring majestically over the picturesque River Medway in Kent. The Nassau balloon, named after the Prince of Wales, was a hydrogen-filled, elegant creation that carried several passengers on this exhilarating flight. The early 1830s marked the height of the ballooning craze in Europe, with thousands of people mesmerized by the spectacle of hot air and hydrogen balloons lifting off from various locations. Charles Green, a skilled and experienced balloonist, had already made numerous successful ascents before this flight. The passengers in the Nassau balloon, dressed in their finest attire, appear to be enjoying the experience of a lifetime, their faces filled with excitement and wonder as they gaze down at the breathtaking views of the Kentish countryside below. The River Medway, with its meandering course and serene waters, adds to the idyllic setting of this historic moment. The Nassau balloon, with its graceful shape and vibrant colors, stands out against the clear blue sky, making for a truly unforgettable sight. This photograph, taken from The Royal Aeronautical Society's archives, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when the skies were a new frontier for human exploration and adventure.
