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.

Winter is still with us

North River anchorages filled up again Sunday as 25 knot winds swept the Harbor and temperatures dived on the penultimate day of astronomical winter.

Stephen Reinauer sat off 86th Street for a second day
Saint Emilion returned from Albany and anchored off 96th Street, turning broadside to the River at the morning slack
Kimberly Poling anchored farther south
and used her barge’s derrick to maneuver or perhaps drain a hose at one point
Genesis Eagle, not seen by NRN before on the River, came in from New Haven with a light barge and anchored between the Saint and Stephen.
Everly Mist fought the northwest wind and the ebb tide, pushing a trio of empty hoppers back to the Haugland Group’s Tomkins Cove facility
