Built by the Wrather Corporation, which then operated the ship, it was touted at its construction as the largest geodesic dome in the world, reaching a height of about 35 meters and a diameter of nearly 120 meters. It was specifically designed to house and display the "Spruce Goose," the massive wooden seaplane by Howard Hughes (the H-4 Hercules), which made only a single flight in 1947.
