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.

Frozen Niagara Falls

In what is truly a rare photo, people are pictured wandering onto the frozen surface of Niagara Falls on March 29, 1848. An ice jam upstream stopped the flow over the falls for several hours. This was the only known incident of such magnitude in the falls' recorded history.
