In 16 December 1773, the Boston Tea Party happened after the British Government bought tea with money form the people's taxes and later imported it back to Boston to be sold.
A group of 30 to 130 men, some dressed in the Mohawk warrior disguises, boarded th three vessels and , over the course of three hours, dumped all 342 chests of tea into the harbour.
The precise location of Griffin's Wharf site of the Tea Party has been subject to prolonged uncertainty; a comprehensive study places it near the foot of Hutchinson Street (modern day Pearl Street)
