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:

Battle of Midway

The crew of the sinking carrier USS Yorktown abandon ship after being hit by Japanese aerial torpedoes on June 4, 1942. The USS Balch remains nearby to render assistance. From June 4 - 7, 1942,  the battle of Midway proved to be the turning point of World War II in the Pacific.
