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.

Mt. Vernon

Mt. Vernon, pictured above, was the plantation home of the first President of The United States, George Washington. Built in 1757 along the shores of the Potomac River near Alexandria, Virginia, the site was designated a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 19, 1960.
