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.

Stormy weekend

Commercial traffic was very light over the second weekend of July, while intermittent storms kept recreational boaters on their toes. Four tug/barge combinations dropped anchor in the North River, while escorted swimmers moved through Sunday evening despite periods of heavy rain.

Kirby’s very large Lincoln Sea/DBL 140 ATB spent the weekend off the Boat Basin. The large barge extends 474’ long.
Stain Emilion arrived with barge A87 and anchored to the south
The B. Franklin Reinauer/RTC 81 ATB was a bit to north. RTC 81 is 347’ long.
Curtis Reinauer and RTC 82 were moving product north to Albany Saturday evening, passing the anchored Lincoln Sea ATB
Vane’s Philadelphia was further north still, off Edgewater.
The private commuter RHIB made an atypical Sunday run back to Westchester, passing J80 sailboats enjoying good wind before the storms arrived.
Outrigger canoes got an early paddle in Sunday
Escorted swimmers passed the Englewood Marina Sunday afternoon, undeterred by intermittent storms
NYPD launch 662 was escorting the swimmers, perhaps because of the poor visibility during squalls. The launch came close to the Dyckman Marina but did not stop.
