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.

Final Stops


From 2007 to 2010, 2500 New York City subway cars were dumped into the Atlantic Ocean for the purpose of creating an artificial coral reef for crustaceans and fish.


Once retired, cars were stripped of any loose parts and stacked aboard a barge. They were then brought to the various dumping sites off the coast from Delaware to South Carolina. 

The project has enabled the coastal seafood supply to flurish as a direct result of the reef's attraction of smaller creatures for larger fish to feed on.
