At first, one can imagine what the very first airship would look like. Then the past is suggested through the author's birth name. To fully complete it, we see the HMS King George V on the left. Even though the British ship laid down later on in the future, the name is part of the past:

"She was planned to be named King George VI (after George VI). However the King instructed the Admiralty to name the ship in honour of his father, George V. King George V."

Interestingly enough, the ship is also called "HMS Prince of Wales".
