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.

January 2 2024–Back to work

The first business day for the new year saw plenty of traffic, with tank barges active as we move deeper into heating oil season and a cargo of Dominican sugar arriving for the Yonkers refinery.

Less than a day after returning from Albany with the light Noelle Cutler barge…
…Kimberly Poling and Noelle were heading back north with cargo loaded in Bayonne.
After heading north on New Year’s Eve, CMT’s Daisy Mae was on her way back from Coeymans with a barge heading for the Bay Ridge Flats.
Genesis Vision, not often seen moving cargo on the Hudson, had GM 6508 loaded and heading upstate
Susan Rose was also heading north with cargo on RCM250
A more familiar North River vessel, Boston Marine’s Pinuccia had New York 30 loaded for Newburgh.
Another North River regular, Saint Emilion was returning from their second Albany run in less than a week.
The Army Corp’s Gelberman was on patrol for hazards to navigation.
Balsa 89 arrived with a cargo of sugar from the Dominican Republic, heading for the Yonkers Domino refinery. Charles D. McAllister trailed behind to help with docking at the plant.
