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:
You may click any picture in this blog to view it on its' own screen.

'Bridge of No Return'
The crew of the USS Pueblo cross the Bridge of No Return between North and South Korea, after their release into US custody on December 23, 1968.
On December 23, 1968, the crew of the USS Pueblo is pictured crossing into South Korea after being held captive for 11 months. On January 23 of that year, the Pueblo was attacked off the Korean coast and seized by North Korea. The ship remains in Pyongyang, North Korea, where it serves as a propaganda attraction.
