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.

Stanley Steamer

The demolished "Rocket" Stanley Steamer is pictured in 1907

Twins Francis E. and Freelan O. Stanley founded the Stanley Steamer Automobile Company after selling their photographic dry plate business to Eastman Kodak. The company produced steam engine vehicles from 1902 through 1924, when the company folded.
