A dreamlike anime illustration of Studio Ghibli depicting a large airship modeled after a whale flying through the sky with fantastical mechanisms. This airship flies by flapping its wings, which resemble a steam engine and wooden oars modeled after the pectoral fins of a whale. This is a mechanical civilization that combines the functions of machines and living things, the Industrial Revolution. This fleet is a merchant caravan, but there is only one flying aircraft carrier and a biplane is dispatched.
