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 March 14–return of the Concord

There were lots of photographers on the North River Thursday, on hand to catch the return of the retired British Airways Concord to the Intrepid Museum on Pier 86. The plane had spent a few months at GMD shipyard in the Brooklyn Navy Yard being repainted and restored. Other than the plane, traffic on the North River was typical.

Haugland Group’s Miss Madeline brought the Weeks barge up from a yard on Staten Island after leaving the Navy Yard Wednesday. NYS MHT’s Maddie K provided assistance at the dock. Presumably the similar names are a coincidence.
Dann’s Chesapeake Coast brought the massive Week’s 553 crane up.
The plane took flight for perhaps the last time.
On final approach.
Buchanan12 made its usual round trip to the Greenville flats.
Boston Marine’s Quenames returned from Albany with what looked like New England 29 but could have been New York 30, and headed for a spare dock in Perth Amboy.
Centerline’s C.F. Campbell anchored on the North River for the second time this month. Campbell was paired with the barge Flaco, apparently not just a name for owls.
CMT’s Erin Elizabeth came down from Coeymans with stone hoppers
And passed the anchored Reinauer Kristy Ann/RTC 80 combination sitting off Edgewater since Wednesday evening.
North Hudson Regional Fire & Rescue’s Marine 1 was on the North River for the second day in a row Thursday, this time paying a visit to Edgewater Marina.
They were joined by North Hudson’s smaller boat.
