Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum

The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, located on Congress Street at the Fort Point Channel, is a floating museum that interprets the December 16, 1773 protest against British tea taxes. The site features costumed historical reenactments, multimedia exhibits, and replica 18th-century ships that recall the boarding and disposal of tea into Boston Harbor. It opened in its current location and format in the 21st century and is a focal point for public engagement with the city's Revolutionary-era history.
