Bienvenido a Nueva York

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

Bienvenido a Nueva York

The Colombian Navy ship ARC Gloria, a three-masted sailing barque commissioned in 1968, arrived at Pier 86 this morning. The ship is a training vessel and the official flagship of the Colombian Navy. Gloria is here in part to commemorate the 200-year anniversary of US-Colombian diplomatic relations. For more on her voyage, see this article in Spanish.

Gloria approaches Pier 86, assisted by two Moran tugs. Her crew are lining the yardarms. The Bayonne Bridge is visible in the far distance

Officers, crew and visitors mingle on deck as the ship opens to the public

Despite the old-fashioned rigging, the ship has a modern pilot house and bridge.

Nicole Leigh Reinauer was coming the other way, returning with an empty from Newburgh

A 35’ NYPD launch was tied up near the Growler submarine on Pier 86. Have seen this before, and perhaps this is a standard posting when a foreign navy ship is in town.
