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.

The pair then headed for the Narrows and proceeded south to Philadelphia, passing Sandy Hook by sundown.
Old Dace Reinauer and RTC 83 were heading for Newburgh, just a day after returning from Albany.
The bulk ship CMA Jordaens headed up the North River for Coeymans after seemingly partially unloading at Atlantic Salt in Staten Island and likely carrying salt from the northern deserts of Chile.
Maddie K had two hoppers heading north after shuttling between the Bay Ridge flats and Newtown Creek over the previous 24 hours.
