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.

The Pride of Baltimore

The Pride of Baltimore was an authentic reproduction of a 19th century Baltimore Clipper topsail schooner, and was commissioned in 1977 by the citizens of Baltimore, Maryland. The tall ship, which served as a Goodwill Ambassador to promote business and tourism for the State of Maryland, was lost at sea on May 14, 1986 along with 4 of its' 12 crew members. A replica and modernized version of the original Pride, The Pride of Baltimore II, pictured above, was launched in 1988.
