History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

NOTE:
You may click any picture in this blog to view it on its' own screen.

The Brooklyn Bridge


The Brooklyn Bridge, which spans the East River in New York City, was opened to the public on May 24, 1883. The above photo, entitled 'On the Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge, New York', was taken in 1899. Construction on the bridge began on January 3, 1870.
