I have some very rough notes on how I did this. Some steps may not be needed, but this is exactly how I did it and it worked, so it may be best to do them all and be safe. Apologies for how rough the notes are.

How to steal airship:

- vist Empire Of Hands (EoH)
- return to London
- attend lecture, accept invitation
- take Adventueress to EoH
- visit adventuress' camp, steal gift for emperor
- visit court
- accept comission
- suggest plans in Silent Gallery
- build influence through trading or donating supplies
- DON'T GIFT SOULS. Loses you influence
- trade wine for coffee (w/ influence 15) - sell coffee for profit!

Souls:
- trade recent news for dynamite w/Lost treasure hunter
- trade supplies for candles (if needed)
- go to vault of first emperor from adventuress' camp
- solve puzzle once
- blow door open w/dynamite
- attempt to read inscriptions until success
- return to first emperor, ask for help w/enough influence
- read inscriptions using drop of red honey
- icterine / cerulean / amaranth (yellow, blue, red)
- bowl of red chips
- open tomb (req. memory of shores, zee-story, tale of terror)
- be rescued by monkey foundling (if she is crew, can be recruited earlier in EOH storyline)
- team up with mayor
- donate souls for zeppelin

Fuel:
- propose plan at Silent Gallery
- collect hydrogen from Iron Republic, deliver to EOH until done - takes 5 trips

Supplies:
- suggest plan, get poison
- travel to hearthsake village
- poison the pirates (requires cannibalism trait)
- donate supplies until complete (5 supplies donated = 10 for airship)

When complete:
- be taken to court & name airship (name doesn't matter)
- Go to Silent Gallery, select Gain The Emperor's Favor
- Deliver Monkey Emperor's Wrath to contact in London (YOU CAN NO LONGER RETURN TO LONDON AFTER THIS)
- Return to EoH
- Steal airship - requires Salt and Storm's attention (Can be gained in Whither)
- success!

Hope that helps!

edit - one extra thing to note. Don't suggest a destination! If you do, the monkies will fly away without you.
