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.

James Riddle Hoffa

Jimmy Hoffa is pictured during his years as president of the Teamsters Union. In 1964 he was convicted of jury tampering, attempted bribery, and fraud. On July 30, 1975, Hoffa attended a meeting with top Detroit mobsters at the Markus Red Fox Restaurant in suburban Detroit. It would be the last time he would ever be seen. His disappearance remains a mystery to this day.
