Reports say Marblehead-based Rockmore Co. Inc., which operates the vessels, Hannah Glover and Rockmore, were fined by prosecutors for knowingly dumping untreated sewage from the boat's toilets into North Shore waters.
The Hannah Glover evidently offers dinner cruises, sightseeing trips, and ferry service. The Rockmore is a restaurant boat reportedly moored in Salem Harbor. Under an agreement reached with federal prosecutors, the company reportedly agreed to plead guilty to two counts of violating federal law and pay a $225,000 fine as well as a $75,000 payment to the state environmental trust.
Those who make their living offshore have enough to worry about without the risk caused by hazardous chemicals dumped into the water.
