The/ child on the left of the woman belongs to/ them. The man is a fine swimmer. The woman/ is a splendid floater." Developed at the end of the nineteenth century and eventually served by a trolley line and steamers, Ocean Beach included private cottages, a shore dinner hall and pier. Most were destroyed by the 1938 hurricane. Possibly taken from the pier. In schoolbook writing pad converted to photo album described as "The beginning of the good ship/ BLOSSOM - Adventure/ Photos made by W. Kenneth Cyler/ about 1923." Album apparently documents period of the conversion of the Lucy R. to the Blossom with photographs taken in New London, based on identification of related images. Blossom was also known as Lucy R. and Three Brothers. She was a commercial packet schooner formerly the Lucy R. of Nova Scotia. She was purchased by the Cleveland Museum of Natural History with funds from a Mrs. Blossom and made a voyage to the Indian Ocean to gather ornithological specimens. Blossom was fitted out in New London and sailed out of that port circa 1923. Good condition. Yellow from glue.
