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.

A good soaking

Stormy conditions and gale warnings put a damper on the weekend as the tail of Tropical Storm Ophelia swept over the region. As usual, the North River anchorages filled up with tug/barge combinations as crews looked to get out of the weather. By Sunday afternoon, Patrice McAllister, Jill Reinsure, Vane’s Wicomico, Lincoln Sea and Saint Emilion were lined up south of the bridge, thought the Saint and Lincoln Sea made an early exit as winds abated later in the day. Vane’s Charleston and Philadelphia were further up, off Riverdale.

The DonJon dredging team remained at work in the cruise terminal during the week but had the weekend off as weather moved in and three cruise ships docked.
Kimberly Poling brought the Edwin A. Poling barge north with a cargo on Thursday ahead of the storm.
The bulk ship Nordloire headed for the Ardent Mills dock in Albany Thursday, arriving from Northern Europe and probably carrying another load of Polish wheat.
Boston Marine’s New England 29 barge was heading north with cargo Thursday as well.
Dann’s East Coast headed for the Kill van Kull after leaving a sugar barge in Yonkers on Thursday
The veteran Dace Reinauer and RTC60 were on the River Thursday
Patrice McAlister anchored off the West Side for the weekend with RCM262
Charleston headed upriver Sunday to get out of the weather, passing the anchored Jill Reinauer.
Boston Marine’s Pinuccia brought its New York 30 barge back from Newburgh in the rain and headed for the Arthur Kill.
Saint Emilion left their anchorage off Edgewater Sunday afternoon and headed for the Bayway Terminal.
Yuka D headed for sea ahead of the storms after unloading Turkish cement in Cementon
