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

Cooking again

Yesterday’s respite from the heat was short-lived as temperatures climbed again after overnight thunderstorms. Unfortunately, winds remained light. River traffic was fairly typical. The Naval Academy’s yard patrol training boats were back in town for a fourth time this summer as summer training cruises likely wind up ahead of the beginning of the Fall term in late August .

Marine Highway’s Nathan G brought a load of crushed limestone down from the Colorusso & Sons quarry in Hudson New York to the New York Sand & Stone dock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard

CMT’s Helen pushed a hopper with larger rocks down from Coeymans, which I recently learned is pronounced “KWEE-Mans”.

Helen exchanged barges off Greenville, Jersey City and was heading back north to Coeymans with a black looking cargo, perhaps asphalt millings, by the end of the day.
