Red to Haverhill this season. Last Saturday, Haverhill Harbormaster Michael Vets gave preliminary approval for the installation of tie-ups for the 105-foot-long, 28-foot-wide ship at the public mooring area 100 yards downriver from the Crescent Yacht Club. While installation won’t take place until MassWildlife’s Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program signs off on any necessary sturgeon protections, Tim Slavit said he is grateful for the progress. “I’d like to publicly thank Harbormaster Michael Vets for his professionalism for how he treated my sons and the Haverhill River Cruises. I take my hat off to him,” he said.

The Slavit family says it is not giving up on bringing a passenger riverboat to Haverhill and pledges to bring everyone together in an attempt to resolve any concerns. Tim Slavit, son of late Harbormaster William J. “Red” Slavit, Thursday afternoon complied with an order to remove two concrete moorings he had placed Sunday in the Merrimack River, off Water Street. Northern Tree Service returned and raised the structures out of the water. The moorings are now being stored at Slavit’s home. He said his meeting with the Haverhill Harbor Commission Tuesday went “sour” and he would like to start over.

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.
