The event that came to be known as the Boston Tea
Party occurred on the night of December 6, 1773. The
"party" began when a group of men from Boston
disguised themselves as Native Americans and climbed
aboard the British merchant ship Dartmouth in the Boston
harbor. The group's aim was to destroy the ship's cargo of
tea. The disguised Americans threw 342 chests of tea into
the sea. As a result, the British suffered losses estimated
between ten to eighteen thousand pounds. The Boston
Tea Party began a series of protests that eventually
began the American Revolution
