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:

Arlington Memorial Bridge


The Arlington Memorial Bridge is pictured in 1931 during its' construction over the Potomac River. The Lincoln Memorial can be seen at the photo's edge on the left just beyond the bridge. In November 1963, the funeral procession for President John F. Kennedy crossed Memorial Bridge in route to Arlington National Cemetery, which is located just beyond the bridge in Arlington, Virginia.
