-In 1879 a Swedish merchant ship spotted what appeared to be a solitary stationary cloud high above the North Atlantic seas. Closer investigation revealed this to some kind of large levitating structure.  Believing it to be a floating city they named it Anglarnas Stad, “City of Angels”. Upon arrival at port their story was mostly dismissed as madness or lies. However American journalist Thomas Coleridge was impressed by the sincerity of the crew and decided to find and photograph this floating mystery. Over the next 18 months Coleridge and his sister Judith made numerous trips across the Atlantic until, in sprin of 1881, Anglarnas Stad was spotted and he convinced the captain to sail close enough for a picture to be taken.

-Anglarnas Stad quickly became world news. Renowned British scientist and explorer Lord Aldous Hill announced his intention to mount an expedition to set foot on the floating city. In 1882 Hill's team use an ingenious high-altitude hot-air balloon to board the city, around two hundred miles west of Iceland. The first five people to set foot in Anglarnas Stad include Hill and the Coleridges.

 They find that whilst Anglarnas Stad has buildings designed as accommodation it is clearly not a city. The explorers theorised it was some kind of port, with warehouse areas (all empty) and docks for what they assumed would be flying ships (long gone). They also determined that Anglarnas Stad was abandoned long ago. Whoever lived and worked there had departed decades if not centuries ago. For Coleridge every question answered raised at least two more. Who had built it, what happened to them, what purpose did it serve, why had it never been seen before? In her private journal Judith wrote “if our mission here is to discover the fate of these miraculous architects then I fear we will fail”.
