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.

Two Time Survivor

Pictured is Tsutomu Yanaguchi, who was in Hiroshima on business on the day the Atomic Bomb was dropped by the Allies. He managed to survive and return home to Nagasaki, where days later he survived another bomb drop, which resulted in the ending of World War II. He is the only known person to have survived both Atomic Bombs. He recently passed away at the age of 93.
