Description
It's hard to believe that Boston's waterfront was once an area filled with glaciers! Native Americans fished in the harbor & farmed the land. Ships with English immigrants began arriving to the New World in the 1620s.
The famous Tea Party took place in Boston Harbor on December 16, 1773. British soldiers landed on Long Wharf to enforce the laws the colonists resisted.
The British sailed back to England from the same wharf on March 17, 1776 after the struggle for independence was won.
Over the years, Boston Harbor has transformed from a busy colonial trading port to a dumping ground and finally to an area where hotels, restaurants and cruises have made it a popular tourist attraction.
Start at the Old State House, then make your way to the waterfront and the North End. Find out where John Hancock kept his money, see Boston's first skyscraper and enjoy scenic views of Boston Harbor.
