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 18–cold running

A return from warmer climes found the North River cold but not yet icy. Traffic was light and anchorages were empty south of Yonkers.

Stations Marine’s James Charles brought a Hughes Marine deck barge down from Kingston and headed out of town towards the Delaware River.
DonJon’s Sarah Ann brought a work barge down from where dredging operations had been underway up in Yonkers.
Centerline’s HMS Justice brought a fuel barge up to Con Ed’s Pier 98, probably to top up the GCS 230 barge stationed there with backup fuel for the winter.
Metropolitan Marine’s Normandy had work to do in Yonkers, probably assisting with moving a sugar barge there.
Moran’s Barney Turecamo/Georgia ATB anchored loaded off Yonkers in the early hours of Thursday and headed to a pier near Bayonne’s IMTT.
The Janice Ann Reinauer/RTC 103 ATB was heading north with cargo.
A Coast Guard 2-engine turboprop, possibly an HC-144A, flew down the Hudson from the Falmouth base on Cape Cod.
