The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum is located on a pontoon platform on Boston's Congress Street Bridge. It features interactive exhibits, plays with actors in period costumes, and films. The museum's centerpieces are two lifelike replicas of the ships "Beaver" and "Eleanor." A real tea chest from 1773 is also part of the collection. The museum commemorates the famous protest against British taxation policy, in which activists threw tea into the harbor—a turning point on the road to American independence.
