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.

Coral Coast, seen Monday coming down from Ravenna with a cement barge headed for Flushing Bay, was on the way back north Tuesday morning.
Justine McAllister’s elevated wheelhouse was visible above RCM 250 as they returned from Portsmouth NH and headed for anchorage off Yonkers.
Haggerty Girls, now often seen paired with RTC 81, returned from a run up to Newburgh and headed for the Upper Bay.
With ice season perhaps done for the year, Coast Guard 65’ harbor tug Hawser spent the night at the USCG mooring south of the bridge, and then headed for Bayonne base.
The larger 140’ Sturgeon Bay headed north from base and was approaching Poughkeepsie by sundown
Marie J Turecamo and Kimberly Turecamo headed for Buchanan to help sail a bulker at the wallboard plant.
A trio of Navy MH53-E Sea Dragon helicopters, who’s main mission is mine counter-measures, flew up from JFK, circled the statue twice and came up the North River to just past the bridge…
Before flying back south down the Jersey Shore.
