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.

Summer traffic

Tuesday saw the North River anchorages empty out, with all but the Saint Emilion moving on. Reinauer ATBs and CMT tugs were moving product and a bulker headed upriver. There was not yet much sign of impact from flooding up north, though the DEP’s water monitoring vessel was seen on the River, perhaps also checking for impact from a sewage leak in Tarrytown over the weekend. Military helicopter traffic was heavy.

The bulk ship Devbulk Sare headed north with no destination showing on AIS.
The Dean Reinauer/RTC 106 combination was heading for Newburgh again with cargo.
B. Franklin Reinauer left their anchorage off 96th Street and headed down the Arthur Kill to Raritan Bay
DonJon’s Sarah Ann pushed empty hoppers north, probably to collect scrap.
CMT’s Mackenzie Rose headed back to their Coeymans base with hoppers loaded with what was probably salt.
Colleagues on Helen followed close behind with stone, passing the still-anchored Saint Emilion.
Diamond Coast was light heading back to Yonkers to rejoin a sugar barge.
A Coast Guard Jayhawk from Cape Cod flew up the North River making a loop around Manhattan and returning to base via Gabreski in Westhampton.
A pair of Army Black Hawks flew up the River, one equipped with an external fuel tank
A pair of Marine Super Stallions from Heavy Helicopter Squadron 464 in North Carolina also flew north.
The NYC DEP’s Osprey, a water monitoring vessel, was on the North River, making a loop around Manhattan and perhaps evaluating water quality after Sunday’s storms up north.
