No. It was a protest. Loads of crates of tea were thrown into the harbour, as a protest at imported tea on which no import taxes were being paid. This was damaging the business of traders in Boston. The main trader affected was a certain John Hancock, who had until then been running a lucrative tea smuggling operation.
