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

Another soaker

Tuesday brought another day of soaking rains, with temperatures in the 40s and light winds, swinging around from northerly to southerly. The brand new MSC cruise ship Seascape remained at Pier 88 for a second day and will remain at least through Wednesday evening for a scheduled naming ceremony here. MSC is also celebrating commencement of year-round cruise service from New York City, though Seascape will be sailing from Miami and, in any event, MSC will be operating out of Brooklyn, not Pier 88 according to their press release. Meanwhile, the visiting Woods Hole-based Coast Guard cutter Tybee did leave its berth at the end of Pier 86 during the morning and headed for Sandy Hook Bay where they had anchored Tuesday evening.
