Remembering people, places, and events that shaped our lives.
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.
A young sailor is pictured on the deck of the U.S.S New Hampshire in Charleston, South Carolina (Circa 1864-65). These boys were used to transport gunpowder to various parts of the ship during combat, earning them the nickname "powder monkey".
