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.

Orange Wednesday

Weird smoky conditions persisted Wednesday, reducing visibility, delaying flights, ruining air quality and keeping recreational activity off the River. Commercial traffic continued of course, though the haze made photography difficult. The Coast Guard cutter Sanibel remained tied up at Pier 86, while Viking Saturn made a 5pm departure for Iceland, set to work the Reykjavik to Bergen, Norway route over June and July. The dredging team seems to have paused or completed operations.

The GW Bridge and The Beatrice were barely visible in the morning haze at a distance of 5.5 mile south of the Bridge and 3.5 miles south of Beatrice
The Beatrice and the 400’ barge Patsy Paulie later headed for the Upper Bay and then the Arthur Kill
Kristin Poling returned from New Haven with a light barge and headed for anchorage off Yonkers
Boston Marine’s Pinuccia was loaded returning from Albany’s Fort Edward Express Terminal and may have loaded ethanol up there for delivery at the Global Terminal in Inwood, Queens, on Jamaica Bay
Carolina Coast returned to the sugar barge left behind at the Domino plant in Yonkers after a visit to the Caddell boatyard
By early afternoon the River was barely visible from shore
