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.

The Mayflower II

The Mayflower II, a replica of the original 17th century sailing vessel that carried the pilgrims to our shores in 1620, is pictured in 1957. Built in Devon, England between 1955 and 1956, the project was financed by private donations from England and the Plimoth Plantation Museum. The Mayflower II is a symbol of friendship between the United Kingdom and the United States for collaboration in World War II.
