    They are similar words that mean different things.

    "Historic" refers to having significance to the flow of history.
    For example, the Battle of Culloden was an historic occasion that concluded one era of Scotland's history and began another.

    "Historical" refers to having a precedent in history.
    For example, ghillie shirts are not historical clothing.

    Clear as mud?
