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.

Thursday Jan 11–after the storm

Vessels sheltering on the North River cleared out and went back to work as conditions improved and winds moderated. By Thursday evening, anchorages were empty again.

Offshore wind vessel Sea Gull remained at anchor Thursday morning but she soon headed back to her work area off Jersey.
The Ellis Island dredge and their paired tug also left anchorage and headed back to their work site off Fire Island passing Saint Emilion at anchor who were on their way shortly after.
Potomac left anchorage north of the bridge and headed for the Bayridge flats.
A cement transporter barge headed back towards Ravenna
CMT’s Mackenzie Rose had the company’s e-crane in tow and was heading for the Upper Bay.
James William brought hoppers down from Albany heading for the Waste Management dock in Elizabeth.
A Coast Guard MH-65 flew a loop up from their Atlantic City base up past the bridge and then returned home, using about half of their 400 mile range.
The big high tides in the storm left a lot of debris in Riverside Park
