Named in 1826 by Captain Beechey (1831, v. 1, p. 276), who wrote, "Upon examination with the boats, several successive banks were found at about three quarters of a mile apart, lying parallel with the coast line * * *. These shoals lie immediately off Icy Cape * * *, "and were named after Beechey's ship H.@M.@S. Blossom. In September, 1889, Lieutenant Commander C. H. Stockton, U.S. Navy (USN), of the U.S.S. Thetis, erected a beacon on Icy Cape to mark the beginning of Blossom Shoals.
