It was on this date 235 years ago that liquored-up Sons of Liberty, dressed as Narragansett Indians (because the Sons of Liberty had been drinking Narragansett Beer), boarded three ships docked in Boston Harbor and proceeded to forcibly teabag British troops in protest of King George’s Stamp and Townshend Acts.
The ships were the Dartmouth, the Eleanor, and, of course, the Beaver.
“I’m worried about the Brig Beaver,” said Samuel Adams, who liked Narragansett so much that he vowed to create his own beer, Olympia.
“Then teabag it verily,” cried John Hancock. And they did.
The inset is Sarah Vandella, Jenny Hendrix, and Lana Violet dressed as my personal Narragansett squawstitutes awaiting their teabaggery.
“After that, you can send it up my Freedom Trail,” Hendrix did not say.
