First, Samuel Adams had nothing to do with the Boston Tea Party. Second, the ships were British and no one "got them." There is also a misunderstanding on why the party happened. The British had LOWERED the tax on tea which made the tea smuggled into the colonies a higher price tea. This was an economic issue and the "party" wasn't a planned event. It just happened.
3 ships wanted to dock in the Boston Harbor ,because the ships wouldn't go back to England Samuel Adams, John Hancock and 80 other men disguise themselves as Indians and threw all the tea into the Boston Harbor.
The Boston Tea Party was held in Boston Harbour because that was where the Americans, (commanded by Samuel Adams told them to dress themselves as Mohawk Indians) had to throw 342 chests of tea into the water. The 342 chests of tea were in the tea ships which were anchored at Boston Harbour.
Comapny to sell tea below the price of the smuggled tea. Boston Tea Party - 1773, Samuel Adams led patriots ships disguised as Indians and raid of British ships dumped the loads of tea in to the Boston Harbor
No one. This is one of the myths of our history. There was no organization or planning for it. A group of people were in a pub and talking about the tea tax. Someone said that they should go to the ships and throw the tea overboard. Everyone thought it was a good idea, so they left, some picked up things to disguise themselves, and they found 3 tea ships at anchor. The boarded them, knocked one Capt. down, and threw the tea overboard.
No one organized it. That is one of the great legends of our nation. What really happened was a group of people ( some may have been Sons of Liberty) were in one of the pubs and they were complaining about the tax on tea and the East Indian company. Some one suggested that they go dump the tea in the harbor, so they decided to meet at the docks. A few went home and dressed up as Indians and picked up a hatchet or two. They boarded 3 ships and threw the chests of tea overboard into Boston Harbor.
I think it was about 3 ships. Hope this is a good answer!
