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 copyright Daniel Katzive unless otherwise attributed.

Beware the Ides

Skies cleared Wednesday but the winds remained elevated, gusting above 40 knots with gale warnings in effect all day. Tanker barges were moving around the River but through cargo seemed rather light.

Vane’s Fort McHenry came through not long past sunrise heading for the Buckeye terminal north of Newburgh
Treasure Coast was heading the other direction, pushing a loaded cement barge down from the Ravenna Lafarge plant and heading for Lafarge’s Bayonne terminal
Morgan Reinauer, one of the older Reinauer tugs, arrived on the River in the morning with a light barge and anchored off 96th Street
Morgan passing by with somewhat retro lines
Ruth Reinauer, Dean Reinauer and the Genesis Glory were anchored further north
Dean Reinauer made a loop up to Yonkers and then headed south for the Arthur Kill in the afternoon
Josephine made a loop up the River in the afternoon but didn’t stay long
CMT’s Mister Jim brought a cargo of large rocks down from Coeymans
Kirby’s Denali remained anchored off 72nd for a third day
