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 Feb 1–new and not new

Thursday brought limited traffic but observations included a very familiar vessel and one not seen before.

Saint Emilion was heading for Albany Thursday morning with barge A87. The pair are North River regulars. The Saint wears unmarked livery but according to Tugboatinformation.com is owned by Apex Oil and operated by Poling-Cutler whose green and white tugs are familiar on the river. The A87 barge always rides high even when carrying cargo for some reason.
Seen for the first time by NRN was the newest towboat in the Carver Marine Towing fleet, Erin Elizabeth, heading for the Bay Ridge flats with hoppers loaded with large rocks and crushed stone.
