Why didn't Sam Adams and the gang burn up a British ship of the line and instead destroy a companies private property?
Strong point. A crowd of ~15,000 had gathered early in the day, and then at night ~200 went wilding (most dressed as Mohawk Tribe) on the tea cargos of Dartmouth, Beaver, and Eleanor. A few months later (March or April if memory serves) a warehouse in Boston was discovered with tea and they went and partied like Andrew Gillum with a twink, burning it to the ground.
Fun Fact: there were no British SoLs (kudos you know the term) in Boston Harbor at that time
