The Blossom Expedition

The NFTs come with full documentation of time, place and subject description, despite being 99 years old. For anyone who has ever wanted to own rare images of our shared cultural history, this is a unique opportunity. The three-masted schooner that carried the expedition was the Lucy R, built in 1920. Upon purchase by the Cleveland Museum of National History, she was renamed the Blossom in honor of the expedition’s benefactor. (Mrs. Dudley S. Blossom.)

From a historic collection of thoussands of photos, only a few made its way to The Blossom NFT collection. They have all been artistically restored for their aesthetic quality.

Along with a crew of seven college men, the expedition set off on October 29, 1923. The Blossom reached back to Charleston, South Carolina on June 4, 1926, after traveling 20,000 miles in 31 months. The men’s journey was one of adventure, mishaps, exotic islands, humor, colorful characters and even a little romance.
