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.

A Not So Happy Valentine

In 1929, the St Valentine's Day Massacre would become the most famous of the 200 murders in the city of Chicago between 1927 and 1931. Members of notorious gangster Al Capone's gang, disguised as policemen, raided the headquarters of Bug's Moran's North Side Gang. The seven men were lined up against the garage wall and brutally murdered with sub-machine guns.
