The siege of Boston ended with the British troops evacuating the city. They had to wait in Boston Harbor for a number of days for the wind to be favorable enough to set sail out of the Harbor.
The British withdrew from Boston in 1776 after American troops, led by General Thomas, secured Dorchester Heights with fortifications and cannons. The American forces could hit any British ship in the harbor from this location forcing the British to withdraw.
Boston Harbor was closed by the British.
The acts that closed the British harbor to almost all shipping and trade were primarily the Intolerable Acts, passed by the British Parliament in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. The most notable of these was the Boston Port Act, which specifically aimed to punish Massachusetts by shutting down the port of Boston until the dumped tea was paid for. This act severely restricted trade and contributed to the escalating tensions between the American colonies and Britain, ultimately leading to the American Revolution.
