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.

Short Sands Shipwreck

In 1958, this shipwreck, embedded deep into the beach sand in York, Maine, was discovered by locals after a coastal storm had washed away a large layer of the beach's sand. Believed by historians to be a small square rigged vessel known back in its' day as a 'pink', the ribbed outline has been revealed after other similar storms in 1980 and 2007. Marine archaeologists believe this vessel to be from the Revolutionary War era.
