The only Zeppelin post ever built in South America and is the last remaining mast of this kind in the world. This "tower" is where the blimp "Graf Zeppelin" and the ill-fated "Hindenburg" docked between 1930 and 1937 during their trips between Europe, South America and North America. This tower has been painted over recently, and is located in a run down area of the city, next to the local SWAT team training facilities. (Canon S120)
