Join us for the 250th anniversary celebration of a historic moment in Annapolis history!
On October 15, 1774, eleven months after the Sons of Liberty protested the Tea Act by dumping British East India Company tea into Boston harbor on December 13, 1773, Maryland patriots held their own “tea party.” This lecture describes why and how Maryland patriot leaders convinced Annapolis merchant Anthony Stewart to destroy his own ship, the PEGGY STEWART, in Annapolis harbor to prevent its cargo of tea from being landed and taxed. The incident demonstrated that resistance to British colonial policies was not confined to New England and had some surprising results.
Registration required. Registration closes one half hour prior to lecture.
Cost: $15 per household for General Admission; $10 per household for HA Members, Military, and HA Docents.
