Although it may look like a horrifically uncomfortable journey, this overloaded ship is actually a very uplifting photograph when you discover the context. The ship is full to the brim of American soldiers returning home from World War II in 1945.
The aerial photograph is of the aft deck of the passenger liner 'Queen Elizabeth.' The war had been won and all of the soldiers on board would be returning home to their families and loved ones after spending years apart.
In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt and the famous naturalist, John Muir, had a meeting at Yosemite National Park.
The meeting had a strong influence on the government's land and resources policy. In fact, the term "conservation" came into its present meaning in part as a result of this meeting.
Although we cannot see it in this photo, hundreds of visitors followed them, desperately trying to catch a glimpse of their president. The famous historical meeting is the subject of the 2016 feature "National Parks Adventure."
In 1966, a terrible blizzard swept across the United States and the East side of the Rocky Mountains.
The blizzard bought heavy snowfall and temperatures that reached record lows. At least 142 people died during the blizzard and 31 of these froze to death. Many people also died in fires that started while people were desperately trying to heat their homes. By the time the storm eased, the death toll had reached 201. This photo illustrates just how deep the snow levels reached.
Let's face it. The 1980s were weird.
Really, really weird.
Shoulder pads, big hair and over the top movies were staples of that decade, and the movie Perfect, starring Jamie Lee Curtis and John Travolta, was no exception.
In it, Travolta plays a reporter exploring the exciting scene of - wait for it - singles' fittness clubs, and falls in love with Curtis' character, a fitness instructor.
The gyrating hips and sweaty neon outfits that feature heavily in the movie weren't enough to save it from critics, but it's considered a classic "so-bad-it's-good" film that is a must in any '80s themed movie watching party.
In this photo, Robert Kennedy is on an old roller coaster type ride at Disneyland with his and John Glenn's children.
Robert Kennedy was a presidential candidate and was mortally wounded on the night he found out that he was the winner of the South Dakota and California presidential primaries in the 1968 election.
You have undoubtably seen the logo in this picture hundreds of times in your life. In this environmentally conscious age, the recycling logo is seen on dustbins, packaging and billboards.
It is unlikely that you have seen this photograph of the first recycling logo though. At the age of 23, Gary Anderson designed the recycling logo for a contest in 1970. He probably had no idea at the time just how successful and widespread his logo entry would later become.
This photograph from a magazine depicts a luxury lawnmower in the 1950s.
The image we see looks like something out of a bizarre sci-fi universe. It is in fact a lawnmower designed to include air conditioning. You sit inside the air-conditioned bubble and mow the lawn without having to break a sweat.
The only downside is that you would need a pretty big shed to store one of these things but if you have the money to buy a luxury air-conditioned lawnmower, we doubt a small shed is going to be one of your problems!
Many of us are familiar with The Oregon Trail from the '90s game, and this photo shows what life was like there. The Oregon Trail was a 2,170-mile east-west wagon route and emigrant trail that connected the Missouri River to the valleys in Oregon.
From the early to mid-1830s the Trail was used by about 400,000 settlers, miners, farmers, ranchers, and business owners, as well as their families. Thousands of people never actually made it to Oregon and they were buried on the Trail.
This marvelous photo and the story it tells is not too unfamiliar. How many times have you stepped inside a photo booth on a night out with your friends and ended up with four snaps of you all in hysterics?
This Victorian couple were not in a photo booth but were getting their portraits done professionally. They posed in their smartest clothes but couldn't help but get the giggles. The third and fourth photo show them trying (and failing!) not to laugh.
Photographer Dmitry Rubinshteyn's works look like vintage photos. Even though this photo looks like it came from a time long long ago, believe it or not, it was taken on June 3, 2010! He sure had us completely fooled!
The Russian photographer's modern photos are called ambrotypes and they're made to appear very old. This one happens to be called Katerina.
