That night, a large group of men—many reportedly members of the Sons of Liberty— disguised themselves in Native American garb, boarded the docked ships and threw 342 chests of tea into the water.
Said participant George Hewes, “We then were ordered by our commander to open the hatches and take out all the chests of tea and throw them overboard, and we immediately proceeded to execute his orders, first cutting and splitting the chests with our tomahawks, so as thoroughly to expose them to the effects of the water.”
Hewes also noted that “We were surrounded by British armed ships, but no attempt was made to resist us.”

One time, a bunch of guys dressed up like Native Americans and threw a lot of tea into the water. They were part of a group called the Sons of Liberty. One guy named George Hewes said they cut the chests of tea with tomahawks and threw them into the water. They didn't even get in trouble because the British ships didn't try to stop them.
