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.

The Iwo Jima Memorial

In September 1954, workmen begin erecting the Iwo Jima Memorial, located just outside of Arlington National Cemetery. Originally cast in Brooklyn, NY, the massive statues were transported on large flatbed trailers down Interstate 95 to Arlington, VA.
