Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum (reconstructed ships and floating exhibits)

The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum at Fort Point Channel features full-scale reconstructions of the 18th-century ships Beaver and Eleanor and a floating museum that interprets the December 16, 1773 Boston Tea Party.

It is located on Congress Street where Fort Point Channel provides a harbor-front setting for the museum vessels and exhibits.
