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.

Turkish cement

A bulk ship came up the North River Wednesday heading for the Cementon dock in Catskill, NY. The cement plant there has been closed for years, but Heidelberg Cement appears to have converted it into an import terminal. The SSI Marvelous was arriving from Turkey after first spending some time partially unloading the Heidelberg dock in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Otherwise traffic has been typical this week, with Dylan Cooper and B. Franklin Reinauer remaining parked in the anchorages.

Centerline’s Jeffrey S killed some time on the North River Thursday with the 400’ barge Patsy Paulie, previously seen on the River with the tug The Beatrice.
The next day, Centerline’s Adeline Marie moved up the North River with the Marc II barge, passing a Circle Line boat on two, while on the far side of the river, Henry Marine’s Dorothy J brought a barge loaded with what looked like containers and construction equipment and a power boat back from Verplanck.
They were passed at anchor by the Dylan Cooper/RTC 108 ATB returning to the River after visiting the company facilities on the Kill van Kull. It was a tight squeeze for the Edgewater ferry moving between them and passing Dylan on one.

    Interesting traffic, Dan. And another of your great bird shots. That cormorant saw you coming and was ready with a blog-worthy pose.
