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.

Historic Video

On June 19, 2009, I posted this photograph taken on September 2, 1945 of the signing of Japan's Instrument of Surrender. The ceremony took place aboard the USS Missouri. I recently received a video of the actual news footage from that event. Click on the link below to see this historic film footage.
