The Ships:The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum features two authentic replica
18th Century sailing ships, the Brig Beaver and the Eleanor, designed
by Master Shipwright Leon Poindexter. Both of these ships took part in
the events on December 16, 1773. On board you will explore the decks,
captain’s quarters and cargo hold. You and your guests will relive the
infamous night and dump the tea into the sea!
The Museum:We’re an entirely new kind of museum, where you’ll not only view
artifacts of historical importance, you’ll also have an all-encompass-
ing, multi-sensory experience. At the Boston Tea Party Ships and
Museum, our museum experience will transport you on an incredible
journey back in time as you take part in the famous event that forever
changed the course of American History! Located on the Congress
Street Bridge in Boston, Massachusetts, this floating Museum is
unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before. Live actors, high-tech,
interactive exhibits, authentically restored tea ships and the stirring,
multi-sensory documentary “Let it Begin Here,” are just a taste of
what you’ll see, hear and feel. Meet the colonists, explore the ships
and dump tea overboard just as the Sons of Liberty did on that fateful
night of December 16, 1773.
The tour is designed to give you the opportunity to participate, explore
and learn about the people, events and consequences that led up to
the American Revolution in the order in which they actually occurred
more than 230 years ago.
