HMS Blossom (1806)
HMS ''Blossom'' was an 18-gun ''Cormorant''-class sloop-of-war. She was built in 1806 and is best known for the 1825–1828 expedition under Captain Beechey to the Pacific Ocean. She explored as far north as Point Barrow, Alaska, the furthest point into the Arctic any non-Inuit had been at the time. She was finally broken up in 1848.
==Napoleonic Wars==
On 26 February 1808 ''Blossom'' was in company with ''Eclipse'' when they captured the ''Sally and Hetty'', William Fleming, Master. ''Blossom'' was in company with ''Jamaica'' when they recaptured the American brig ''Iris''.
In the mid-morning of 23 February 1812, ''Blossom'' was five leagues off Cabrera when a strange schooner sailed towards her, mistaking her for a merchantman. When the schooner realized her mistake a five-hour chase followed before ''Blossom'' was able to capture the schooner ''Jean Bart''. ''Jean Bart'' was of 147.5 tons (bm) and had been launched in Marseilles only five weeks earlier. She was armed with five 12 and two 6-pounder guns, and had a crew of 106 men under the command of Jean Francis Coulome. She had made no captures but within the previous five days her excellent sailing had enabled her to evade two British frigates and a brig.
On 18 August 1812, shortly after the outbreak of war with America, ''Blossom'' and were in sight when the letter of marque ''Sir Alexander Ball'' captured the American ship ''Grace Ann Green''.
