Call us today to book! Hurry, they sell out fast! Colleen, Jean, Virginia, Leanne At night, several ‘Sons of Liberty’, as they were known to become, donned feathers, a little paint and passed them- selves off as Mohawks. They boarded the ships and tossed the tea boxes into the harbour. Unfortunately there were several problems: the tide was out so the tea boxes did not sink, which meant the men had to jump in the water and open the crates and disperse the tea by hand; an unrewarding task, as it was December, and quite cold. Only one person was killed, as a re- sult of a box of tea falling on him. The revolutionaries did not want him to be found so they tied his body to a horse and watched it gallop home. The fallen victim was merely unconscious and re- gained awareness while being dragged behind the horse, which no doubt caused him more injury than the tea did in the first place. There is no account, but I doubt he took any further action in the War of Independence. Aside from the history there are fan- tastic opportunities to dine on anything your palette desires; from great Ital- ian food in Little Italy to a vast array of seafood in fine dining establishments. There are two Cheers bars, which serve the same menu and although Cliff is no longer there, his memory is everywhere. For those seeking simpler fare, Quincy Market has two floors of hundreds of stalls serving up everything from lobster rolls to pizza, hotdogs to ice cream. A harbour cruise is a must, as it gives you a different perspective of the city and also allows you to see the newly restored USS Constitution, the oldest continuously serving naval ship in the United States (It was first launched in 1797). Boston is a wonderful destination for history, sightseeing, nightlife and good food… and don’t forget to have a cup of tea.
