Hundreds looked on from Boston Harbor on this day in 1773 as 50 to 60 colonists, disguised as Native Americans, boarded three British ships. Their disguises were a statement: we are of this continent, not Britain. In a few hours, they broke open 342 crates and dumped 46 tons of tea into the water. Explore this defining act of protest in The American Revolution, a film by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt. Now streaming on the PBS app. | PBS
