Observations on the Hudson River as it passes through New York City. The section of the Hudson which passes through New York is historically known as the North River, called this by the Dutch to distinguish it from the Delaware River, which they knew as the South River. This stretch of the Hudson is still often referred to as the North River by local mariners today. All photos copyright Daniel Katzive unless otherwise attributed.

Military aircraft use the Hudson as a kind of sky highway for moving north at low altitudes. On Sunday, this Marine King Stallion flew past NYC at 300 feet. The chopper originated at McGuire Airforce Base in Lakehurst NJ which hosts a Marine reserve aviation logistics unit, and flew up the river into Dutchess County, made a loop around Anthony’s Nose and came back. A 1.5 hour training mission I assume, and a beautiful day for it.
