Historic vs. historical

Are adjectives historic and historical interchangable and do they have the same meaning?

According to the dictonaries, their meaning is very close and sometimes overlaps, but is not entirely the same. My English teacher also says there exists a difference, but does not know how to explain it.

Could somebody - a native speaker, perhaps? - explain to me the difference and give some examples of their usage? Thanks.
