Boston Harbor

It was a beautiful summer day on the Boston harbor. There were only a few boats in the harbor but the monthly cargo ship from Britain had just come in that day. This ship had many of the supplies that Boston storekeepers needed very badly. Moses Prescott was riding his cart down to the harbor from his shop to buy supplies from the merchant henry Kempe. When he arrived most of the supplies had already been unloaded and a few other storekeepers already buying sugar, molasses, and tea. In Boston the tax on tea was so big that many of the storekeepers had given up stocking there stores with tea because most of their customers stopped buying it. The merchant walked towards Mr. Prescott. “Hello Moses,” said the merchant. “Are you here to get you’re shipment of sugar, molasses, and tea?” He was a tall wiry man with red hair and a bristly beard. He and Moses had done business together for many years so they were friends except when they got in a fight about the…

1a.) The bacteria levels in the Boston Harbor were higher 25 years ago. "Historically, poorly treated wastewater and discharge of sewage solids, or sludge, were significant sources of bacteria to the harbor, documented as far back as the 1930s." (The State of Boston Harbor: Mapping the Harbor's Recovery, 8) Now, the water quality is being measured by the MWRA to meet the health standards of making the water 1b.)With the respect of my parameter, bacteria pollution, I could attend the Boston…

The event sparked off the passing of legislative measures that were aimed at ending the commerce of Boston once and for all. Soon, the Boston Harbor closed, and my tea trade was no good to anyone. Soon, I found myself more intrigued towards the objectives of the Patriots even though I did feel numerous times that I had no choice regarding the same. 6.1 to understand what these individuals were after, I joined one of their ranks, which were being held in secret owing to the passing of the…

revolutions against groups of people. Les Miserable, one of the most notable and recognized musicals of our time is set during the French Revolution. Unfortunately, we see images that tend to glorify the act of revolting against something and while movies like Les Miserable are entertaining, they tend to be lacking in the true facts department. The real French Revolution was horribly bloody and got way out of hand. The original intent was admirable, but starting an event set into motion a chain…

Inner Boston Harbor's Thompson Island is a gem of an easy access spot if you're looking for fishing the flats for striped bass or deeper and structured-waters on the same plus bluefish. Access is good: kayak fishermen can use the little-more-than-a-mile-from-the-island hand-carry at City Point, ditto the ramp at Malibu Beach, Neponset for powerboaters with trailers with four-wheel drive. In addition to flats fishing on the island's back side, Thompson holds within its contours two tidal…

Paul Revere is worthy of a heroic poem because he played an integral role in the American Revolutionary War. First, he was a member of the Sons of Liberty. In the group, Revere was able to work with important figures who would eventually become founding fathers, like John Hancock. Revere acted as a strong voice for the colonists, so he became a very influential figure in the Sons of Liberty. Also, Revere was a participant in the Boston Tea Party. The colonists felt that they were being taxed…

Adrenaline rushed through my tensed body as though I inched toward the edge of a cliff ready to jump off. Governor Hutchinson just rejected our plea to send the Dartmouth back to England, and everyone in Boston couldn’t take much more of England’s petty games of taxation and their seemingly unlimited power over the colonies. Once the governor’s answer came to everyone at the Old South Meetinghouse, I think we all felt something needed to be done to send a message to England that we had enough…

The Boston Protest lasted from April 18th, 2015- May 3rd, 2015, and was heard nation-wide. Freddie Gray was arrested, and later died because of a spinal cord injury, possibly made from the police when they arrested him. There was a debate on whether or not Freddie Gray sustained the injury while being arrested, or while in transit to the police station. The protesters were trying to get justice for Freddie Gray. The protest was not just to get justice for Freddie Gray, but also to get…

we call the Boston Massacre. This horrific event was a result of the many grand mistakes caused by the British. The British did not let the colonies have any word on the taxation laws being placed on the colonies. Little did the British know that this would eventually lead to a revolution that would lead to a brand new independent country that would be known as the United States of America. The British was in great debt from the French and Indian War. Britain had to place troops in the…

Paul Revere is worthy of having a famous poem written after him by playing an important role in the American Revolutionary war. First, Paul Revere was a member of the organization called, The Sons of Liberty. This organization had been established established to rebel against the British government. Of which it included several historical figures including Samuel Adams, John Adams, Benedict Arnold, and the Founding Father John Hancock. One of the most memorable events they caused was the Boston…
