Today. Dec 16th is the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party in 1773. So drink up and stand for liberty!
:beer:
Drink Tea on this date?
If we wish to honor the events of this date, should we not be tossing some tea into the harbor to protest taxes?
It is also Battle of the Bulge Day.
Interesting they are the same date.
Making cappuccino.
And a toast to everyone!
And a Happy "Destruction of the Tea" Day to you as well. May you celebrate with hatchets and sea water!
90 tons of tea
in 342 chests
Only 2 of the ships were pier side The third had to be moved in and had other cargo that was in the way.
They spent 3 hours at the task
The British Admiral could watch out his house window.

That's 526 lbs per chest.
Something is not right in that combination of facts as men would not be 'throwing' those chests overboard, they would be using booms on 500 lb chests.
