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.

Wednesday January 31–fueling the north

Tanker barges headed north loaded with fuel Wednesday as temperatures continued to hover above freezing on the final day of January. A bulk ship headed for sea after unloading cement upstate.

Dace Reinauer, vintage 1968 and the dean of the fleet, headed for Albany with RTC 83 loaded with fuel.

Poling Cutler’s Kimberly Poling had the Edwin A. Poling barge on a similar mission

Colleagues on Evelyn Cutler with the Eva Leigh Cutler barge were a few hours behind, passing through just at sunset and moving slowly against the increasing ebb.
