Well it was tea time! Lol, no merchants of Boston were fed up with enormous amount of money they were being taxed by England. And in a rebellious move they dumped Englands shipment into the Boston Harbor. It was a milestone in one of the first actions taken against England that sparked the revolutionary war.

Bostonians dressed up as Native Americans and ransacked a ship. They threw all the chests of tea overboard in protest of the taxes on tea.
