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.

Earhart Images

The Amelia Earhart mystery continues. Recently, I've come across these two images, and decided to pass them on.
The above picture shows the Pacific island of Nikumaroro, believed by many to be the place where Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan landed their aircraft. The photograph was taken in July 1937, a short time after their disappearance.
Amelia Earhart's Lockheed Electra is pictured preparing for takeoff. This would be one of the last photos taken of the craft, which was never seen again following its' departure.
