Hi !
Here a picture of the motorgondola from Dr. August Greth's airship....
The photos and article were published into the Scientific American of November 7, 1903....
Dr. Greth told he ditched into the bay because if he should have reached and landed at the other side of the bay (as free balloon than, seen the motor stopped running) he had to pay the return transport cost to home over land and he had no funds anymore !
While the salvage operation by the rescue ship, it seems, didn't cost him money...
