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.

Friendship 7


The Launch of Friendship 7

On February 20, 1962, the Mercury-Atlas 6 Mission was launched, and became the first attempt by NASA to place an astronaut in orbit. The MA-6 mission was piloted by astronaut John Glenn, who became the first American to orbit the Earth.
