It washed ashore, work parties with shovels cleaned it off and threw it back in the harbor the next day.
Go down to "Tides and History, the Boston Tea Party" in source.
It also shows a graph of the tides at the time and which would of been the best time to dump the tea.

With a payment to the Queen of England in 1976 as she and her family were on an official visit here, with a stop no less in Boston MA.
Yes, some 200 years later we paid the $$$ for the tea we dumped. Thank god I am a coffee drinker!
How's that for the good old Yankee Spirit heh?

The Colonists decided NOT to drink tea and that is when coffee became a popular beverage here in the US. That honestly hurt the collection of the tea tax, and that was eliminated to a certain degree. But the actual dispute was ended when America won the Revolution.

the tea killed my uncle that was swimming in the ocean bc when the salt water w/ bacteria mixed w/ the tea it created a toxic almost deadly potion that over whelmed him and made him fall and drowned. RIP jk lolllllllll who actually believed that??? lol though!

not much needed to be done. The ocean is huge and the amount of tea dropped in dissipated throughout the ocean.

i always figured they left it alone to drift wherever because they weren't as ecologically enlightened as we are these days...
