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.

Pablo Escobar

Born Pablo Emilio Ecsobar Gavaria on December 1, 1949, Escobar was a Columbian drug lord who, at one time, headed the famous Medellin Drug Cartel. His life of crime made him, according to Forbes Magazine in 1989, the 7th richest man in the world. One day after his 44th birthday in 1993, Pablo Escobar met up with his fate, as he was killed in a gun battle with law enforcement agents on a roof top in Medellin.
