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.

Together For The Last Time

The RMS Olympic is pictured entering dry dock in Belfast on March 6, 1912 for repairs. In order to accommodate Olympic, her sister ship, the RMS Titanic (right) was moved. This would be the last time the vessels would be seen together. The very next month, while on her maiden voyage, Titanic would collide with an iceberg, sending her to the bottom of the North Atlantic.
