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

Presidential address

President Biden addressed the UN General Assembly Wednesday, snarling traffic on the East Side and periodically blocking the East River, but North River traffic was fairly typical. USCGC Sturgeon Bay continued to keep a watchful eye on the West Side from its anchorage off 96th Street as motorcades zipped along the Henry Hudson Parkway, and Haggerty Girls remained anchored a bit further south.

The most notable shipping of the day came before sunrise as the bulker Jasmine slipped up to the wallboard plant in Buchanan with a load of gypsum from Garrucha Spain. The only daylight manifestation of this on the North River was the Doris and Miriam Moran coming south from Buchanan late in the morning after presumably helping the Jasmine dock at the plant up there.
