1. I used Immigration & Travel and then used Ship Pictures and Descriptions. I edited the search to
"Titanic 2". I got 936 results. I found the sister ship Olympic. The Olympic was in service from 1911 until 1934. It cost $7,500,000 to build. It served as a troopship in WWI. It was withdrawn from service in 1935 and sold to British shipbreakers. The scrapped hulk was finally dismantled in 1937.
2. Having searched newspapers and publications for "Hindenburg", I got 319 results. Searching using "dirigible hindenburg" I found 480 results.
3. I searched "boks" and narrowed it down to "places" typing in Yankton County, South Dakota. I got seven results. None of the results really seemed to pertain to Yankton county.
Hi, Laurie, you did a good job of finding the Titanic's sister ship and newspaper articles about the Hindenburg. Did you notice that not all of the results were relevant? You have to do some sifting. Same with #3. Sometimes it's hard to figure out why a certain item comes up. I tried searching just "Yankton" and got good results. Of course, it gives me hits for Yankton Indians, too, but then they were in the area. Playing around with this will get you some good results.
