This replica of the Beaver, one of three ships raided in Boston Harbor as part of the Boston Tea Party in 1773, was originally built as a schooner in 1908 in Marshall on the island of Areo in Denmark. Initially used for freighting and shopping, she was rebuilt and arrived at her homeport in Boston in 1973.

The original brig was built in 1772 as a whaling vessel for Joseph Rotch, a wealthy oil merchant from Nantucket. It was constructed by Ichabod Thomas at the Brick Kiln Yard near Situate, Massachusetts. The Beaver was about 85 feet long with a beam of nearly 24 feet and a maximum draft of nine feet, a size limitation imposed by the sand bar across Nantucket Harbor's mouth​.

The Robinson Half Chest, the only known surviving tea chest from the Boston Tea Party in 1773. Originally one of several hundred onboard the Dartmouth, one of the three ships carrying East India Company tea into the harbor, it was discovered by 15-year old John Robison on the shores of Dorchester Heights. The small dark green chest--measuring 10” high, 13 1/16’ wide and 11 7/8” deep – made of ½” thick wood-- was passed down across generations for 240 years as a historic heirloom. In 2011, the family loaned the chest to the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum and scientific testing firmed its authenticity as timber from the original 1773 Dartmouth shipment.
