Jules Verne and in his Airships

Jules Verne envisioned all types of vehicles and other contraptions including airships. Airships were first mentioned in Verne’s "Robur the Conqueror" and again in his "The Master of the World". I am just starting to read his Robur the Conqueror, so I am not able to give any particulars of this airship at this point. In The "Master of the World" novel, the airship not only was able to fly, but it also was able to be used as a submersible. This is an interesting combination.

Once I am finished reading "Robur the Conqueror" I need to go back and reread The Master of the World and take note of the ships particulars, as I will with my current reading.
