The Tea Party Ships Brig Beaver and the Eleanor are two of the three ships that were involved in the Boston Tea Party, a historic event that took place on December 16, 1773. The colonists, disguised as Mohawk Indians, boarded the ships and dumped 342 chests of tea into the Boston Harbor, as a protest against the British tea tax. This act of defiance was one of the catalysts for the American Revolution.

The Brig Beaver and the Eleanor were both merchant vessels that carried various goods between England and America. They were owned by different merchants, but they both had similar features and dimensions. They were about 80 feet long, 25 feet wide, and had two masts and square sails. They could carry about 200 tons of cargo.

Today, you can visit replicas of these ships at the Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum, a museum that recreates the story and significance of the Boston Tea Party. You can board the ships and see how they looked like in 1773. You can also throw tea crates into the water, just like the Sons of Liberty did.

The Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum is a great place to learn more about one of the most important events in American history. It is suitable for all ages and interests, and it will make you feel like you are part of history. If you are looking for a unique and memorable experience in Boston, you should definitely check out this museum.

I hope you enjoyed reading this blog post about the Tea Party Ships Brig Beaver and the Eleanor. If you did, please share it with your friends and family who might be interested in visiting this amazing attraction.

Lew Corcoran I would have LOVED to visit this museum last time I was in Boston. The ships of old were exquisite works of art and science. Lauren

For s often as I have been to Boston, I have never been there, and even worse have not heard of it before this post.
