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.

March 21–Tanker Thursday

It was a busy day on the North River, with a lot of tanker barge traffic and cement and sugar cargos also observed. Cold temperatures and winds blowing over 20 knots all day at Robbin’s Reef kept any potential early spring recreational boaters off the water.
