An existing brig, The Beaver has been de-masted, wrapped in plastic and is being stored at the Maritime Heritage museum because after the fire at the Tea Party Museum in Boston, it's going to take awhile to raise the money necessary to rebuild the docks and such in the Fort Point Channel. In the off chance that you're not up on American history, The Tea Party was part of the beginnings of the American Revolutionary War. Some of our ancestors, all dressed up a Native Americans, raided the Beaver and threw all the tea overboard so that it couldn't be taxed by those pesky British. Jim Peter Dzwig wrote: > Is it?
