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.

Monday February 26–traffic

Monday saw fairly brisk traffic in the North River as temperatures climbed into the 50s and the full moon augmented the tides.

Coral Coast came south with a cement barge from Ravenna heading for the Flushing Bay terminal.
The venerable Dace Reinauer and RTC83 spent the evening at anchor off North Bergen…
But headed for the Erie Basin barge port in the afternoon.
the Haggerty Girls/RTC 81 combo headed north with a cargo from Bayway.
Centerline’s Andrea retrieved a HMS-2605 barge from ConEd’s Pier 98 fuel dock and brought it to a terminal in Bayonne.
DonJon’s Thomas D Witte brought scrap from Sims Metal in Albany down to the Sims dock in Bayonne.
CMT’s Erin Elizabeth tow boat brought crushed stone down from Coeymans.
MHT’s Maddie K left the Lafarge Materials dock in Sunset Park and headed north with light hoppers.
The full moon brought an extreme low afternoon tide, exposing more ‘beach’ than usual.
