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.

Golden Gate















This picture of Golden Gate, circa 1891, shows the area prior to the building of the Golden Gate Bridge. Ferry service between San Francisco and Sausalito was the most popular method of travel to Marin County at the time. On May 27, 1937, San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge was officially opened.
