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.

Original Yankee Stadium


A B-17 Flying Fortress is pictured flying over Yankee Stadium during Game 1 of the 1943 World Series.

The original home of the New York Yankees was built in 1923, and hosted its' first game on April 18th of that year, with the Yankees defeating the Boston Red Sox 4-1. The stadium's final game, a 7-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles, was played on September 21, 2008.
