Fact: NYC Has an Airship Dock

A friend of mine visited New York City recently and sent me this very important information along with photo evidence.


"The top section of the Empire State Building, including the spire, was
actually designed  to allow dirigibles to dock at the building and
passengers to disembark at the top. The interior of the spire has a
massive winch installed where a drag line from the blimp could be
attached and reeled in, then a small walkway would be extended to the
bridge of the ship."
