Boston Tea Party

“Griffin's Wharf, December 16, 1773, night. Sons of Liberty disguised as Mohawks hurl chests of tea over the railings of the Dartmouth. Foreground shows men with hatchets prying open crates and tea leaves spilling into black water; midground reveals torchlight on the ship's rigging and a crowd on the wharf; the steeples of Boston rise behind under a cold winter moon.”
