The Boston Tea Party, Griffin’s Wharf
Modern Plaque at Site of Boston Tea PartyThis memorial plaque is located at the foot of the Evelyn Moakley Bridge at Atlantic Avenue and Seaport Boulevard. Just before crossing over to the Seaport District, the plaque is mounted on the building on the right side of the street. Griffin's Wharf was in reality located about 500 feet or so west of this marker because this area was reclaimed from a mud flat when Fort Hill was cut down for landfill.

British Navy HMS Somerset Participating in the Battle of Bunker Hill
British Navy HMS Somerset (1746 – 1778)
The HMS Somerset was grounded on the outer beach of Provincetown in 1778 after fighting for many years in North America. Now her remains are buried beneath the sand, although the waves expose them periodically. A powerful British warship with 64 mounted guns and a crew of 400, the Somerset fought in the French and Indian War (1756-63). She helped the British capture Louisburg and Quebec from the French. During the American Revolution, Paul Revere rowed beneath her bow to get to Charlestown and warn the people before the Battles of Lexington and Concord. She rescued British troops after those battles and bombarded Americans during the Battle of Bunker Hill. Finally, she was wrecked in a fierce storm on November 2, 1778, although only 21 men were lost. The rest of the crew were taken prisoner and marched to Boston, while the canon and other cargo was confiscated and used by American fighters in the Revolution. The remains of the wreck have resurfaced only three times: in 1885-86, in 1973, and in 2010.
Buckman Tavern on Lexington GreenWhere an Important Character Died
In the words of James Otis in Johnny Tremain, “We are lucky men, for we have a cause worth
dying for. This honor is not given to every generation…that a man can stand up.”
