Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Typed in blue: "The New London Light House which is situated/ on the end of the long point of land. This/ light house has a fog horn too but it sounds/ just like a big coarse whistle." This station was established in 1760. The current conical tower was constructed of brownstone in 1801, and keeper's quarters in 1863 (enlarged in 1900). The station was automated in 1912. 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.
