On December 16, 1907, 16 US Navy battleships departed from Hampton Roads, VA. The convoy, named The Great White Fleet, would circumnavigate the world for 14 months. Post cards, such as the one pictured below commemorating the battleship Connecticut, were released during the voyage.
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.
