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.

Arrivals and departures

Through traffic seemed light on the North River Tuesday, as anchorages began to fill up. Kirby’s Cape Canaveral ATB moved up the River and dropped anchor north of Lincoln Sea, while Kimberly Poling taking up position to the south. The Spanish Navy schooner Juan Seabastian de Elcano departed from Pier 86, heading back for Spain after about a week in New York City. The cruise ship Viking Neptune arrived from Nova Scotia and docked at Pier 90.
