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.

Ferris Wheel

The first Ferris wheel, invented by George Washington Gale Ferris, a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania bridge builder, is pictured in 1893 at the World Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The wheel became known as the 'Chicago Wheel'.
