Airships are popular forms of transport in steampunk stories. Varieties of airships vary widely. One of the main types of airship is known as non-rigid, but such airships are commonly called blimps. They are uncommon in steampunk stories, wherein the preference is for a more industrial and mechanical aesthetic. Semi-rigid airships are slightly more common and are slightly larger than non-rigid types. They also contain an internal support structure known as a keel. Rigid airships are the most common in steampunk stories. These airships are a great deal larger than their softer counterparts and can cover greater distances, giving them the ability to cross most of Earth's oceans.
