Review & FAQ:

The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum tells the story of this historic event through the replicas of the three ships involved.

On that fateful evening of December 16, 1773, three ships – built and owned by Americans – had arrived from London carrying a cargo of tea.

They were “staying” in Boston Harbor and 340 chests of British East India Company tea, weighing 92,000+ pounds, were dumped overboard.

The estimated value of the cargo in today’s terms is over $1.7 million dollars. Thousands witnessed the event, which ultimately helped spark the American Revolution.
