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.

Edgar Allen Poe

The grave of Edgar Allen Poe is shown in Baltimore with a bottle of cognac and a rose to mark his birthday. For 60 years the gifts were placed on the grave by a mysterious visitor during the night, sometime between midnight and 5:30 am on his birthday. This year, for the first time since 1949, the mysterious visitor failed to show up. The visitor's identity remains a mystery.
