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

Browning spent 4th of July weekend on the River and perhaps has similar plans for Christmas, or else just looking to get out of the rain for the next few days.

Adeline Marie arrived with a light barge and anchored off Harlem after returning from Providence.

Don Jon had hat looked like some type of tanker barge by the cruise port on Thursday, an unusual location and towing company for this type of barge.

Dann’s Calusa Coast, not seen before on this blog and normally Chesapeake Bay-based, arrived Thursday with a light tanker barge and headed for Yonkers anchorage.
