The Tea Party was two fold one Independence or representation, the other was to get Whaling ships past Cape Horn and Cape of Good Hope
James Cooks Endeavour, The Boston Tea Party and the First Fleet to Australia in 1788 are all tied together. I am afraid Americans know very little about the Tea Party as they do not appear to know anything about Nathaniel Wheatley and his 'sister' Phillis. He is libelled by calling him a Loyalist when he was a Patriot. see second story in my book- Caroline Princess of Wales and other forgotten people of History.
