The Dartmouth, Beaver, and Eleanor were ships involved in the Boston Tea Party of 1773, a pivotal event in American history that protested British taxation without representation. These vessels, carrying tea from the British East India Company, were targeted by American colonists who, disguised as Native Americans, boarded them and dumped 342 chests of tea into Boston Harbor. This act of defiance galvanized colonial resistance against British rule and contributed to the escalation of tensions leading to the American Revolution. The Boston Tea Party became a significant symbol of American liberty and rebellion against oppression.
