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.

Dealy Plaza

On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated as his motorcade passed thru Dealy Plaza in Dallas, Texas. The famous plaza is pictured above 1n 1969, appearing virtually unchanged from that fateful day six years earlier. The assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, fired the fatal shot from the top floor, far right window of the Texas School Book Depository building.
