How long did it take a zeppelin to cross the Atlantic?
I'm writing a steampunk story where zeppelins are in common use. I need to know how fast one could travel from New York to England. Does anyone know?
Also, in the early 1900s, how fast could a passenger ship cross the same distance?

Zeppelin 111 hour crossing:
In October 1928 the Graf Zeppelin made its first intercontinental trip, a 9,926 km (6,168 mi), 111 hour crossing from Friedrichshafen to Lakehurst with Dr. Eckener in command.
Fasstest travel from NY to England:
Speed record set by the Mauretania, New York to Queenstown in 1909, 4d.13h.41m
That was the record. More like 5.5 days. See the table at the link.
