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.

White Christmas

Pictured above is the before and after restoration pictures of the original sled used in the 1954 movie White Christmas starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, and Rosemary Clooney. I came across these pictures on a website for the A & D Restoration Company in California.

The sled was purchased from the Bing Crosby Estate in 1980 by the owners of the Crab Shanty Restaurant, a local eatery here in Maryland.  Below, the sled can be seen in its' current location at the center of the picture, above the antique post office facade in the distant part of the main dining room.
