Replica Tea Party cargo ship “Beaver” launched GLOUCESTER- The ship is a drab yellow, 90 feet long and from a distance looks like any other vessel bobbing up and down in Gloucester Harbor. To maritime preservations, though, the vessel - a 1908 Denmark cargo ship now being renovated to resemble one of three whaling vessels that were boarded during the 1773 Boston Tea Party - is nothing short of a miracle.
