If you should follow the exact route taken by that band of “Mohawks” on that eventful Decem- ber day in the year 1773, you would finally reach a modern building on the site of Griffin's wharf, at which lay moored on December 16, 1773, the three British ships with cargoes of tea. This house bears a tablet com- memorating the famous “Boston Tea Party,” which threw the cargoes Into the sea.
