Introduction
The Boston Tea Party of 1773 was one of the important historical events of the American Revolutionary War. In Boston, which was still a British colony at the time, people decided to destroy the tea trade of the British East India Company using political resistance. They dumped large quantities of tea into the sea, aiming to protect free trade in North America.
Today, there is a museum called the "Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum" near the mouth of the Boston Harbor. A replica of the ship "BeaverⅡ" is also docked nearby. Although the museum is not large, it houses a large collection of original materials, tools, and memorabilia from the time of the event. Visitors can not only learn the truth of history but also personally experience the historical event on the deck. Address 306 Congress St, Boston, MA 02210
Opening hours 10:00-16:00
