Owners still planning to rebuild the Tea Party ship and museum

The owners of the burned out ship and museum wharf off Congress Street go before the Zoning Board of Appeals on July 13 to seek a variance to rebuild - presumably with some sort of fireproofing, given that the place has caught on fire twice in ten years.

The owners need city pemission to rebuild because they want to build something twice as large as the old wharf and add two additional replica ships.

The hearing is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on the eighth floor of City Hall.

The last time the museum went up in flames.
