The Lyrics
In brief, the 1906 Charles Lawrence Captive Airship was a kite train of up to 17 Conyne kites on a piano wire cable suspending a camera held by the specially designed stabilizing mechanism. The spring operated shutter was released from the ground by a current from a battery activating a solenoid in the camera. The moving slit camera reached a height of 2000 ft above 1906 San Francisco to take the first panoramic views of the devasted city...
First Panoramic View
of the time
Captive airship o’er San Francisco
I ain’t lyin’
(Train of) nine kites flyin’
Charles Lawrence built it
Camera weighed 49 lbs
Train of kites lifted slowly
Flew it 2000 feet above the ground
First Panoramic View
of the time
A long climb
But it flew
But it flew
But it flew
But it flew anyhow
Piano wire cable
Held the slit camera aloft
Photographed the devastated ground
1906 history
