Daily 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 by Daniel Katzive unless otherwise attributed. Twitter @dannykatman

A Reinauer AT/B came down the North River and headed for the Narrows, passing a large sailboat enjoying a good northeast wind

Corps of Engineers boats were busy on the river as usual

A small cruise ship Silver Cloud is tied up on the south side of Pier 88. The Cloud is an Antarctic cruise ship but is making a run up to Maine and Nova Scotia later this week.
