The ship was loaded with/laden with cotton?
Is anyone grammatically wrong?

Laden is perhaps more technical, certainly more archaic (though still in regular use), but otherwise Laden and Loaded are pretty much identical in this use.

Yes, and there's also a tendency for 'loaded' to describe the action of loading, and 'laden' to refer to the state of the ship after operation is completed. Commented Apr 1 at 12:01
