After a lengthy renovation, the museum is, as of this writing, scheduled to reopen in the summer of 2010 (though the opening date has been extended more than once). The Beaver II, a reproduction of one of the ships forcibly boarded and unloaded the night Boston Harbor became a teapot, is supposed to return to the Fort Point Channel at the Congress Street Bridge and be joined by two tall ships, the Dartmouth and the Eleanor. Visitors are promised a chance to explore the ships and museum exhibits, meet reenactors, or drink a cup of tea in a new Tea Room.
