Plans to bring a 400-passenger ship up river are in question today as city officials say moorings brought to the Merrimack Sunday were not authorized and must be removed.
Haverhill Police delivered a letter from Harbormaster Michael Vets to Tim Slavit just before 10, Wednesday night, ordering removal of two mooring blocks at Chase’s Wharf by end of day Friday. The order follows a heated exchange at a Haverhill Harbor Commission meeting Tuesday night when allegations were raised that shortcuts were taken in preparing for the arrival of the Slavit family’s MS Captain Red.
