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.

May 7–Hot Tuesday

Poling-Cutler’s Marilyn George brought a freshly repainted A87 barge down from Rensselaer. A87 is normally paired with the Saint Emilion, also operated by Poling-Cutler, but the Saint last pinged AIS from the Brooklyn Navy Yard GMD shipyard a month and a half ago so likely out of service.
Marilyn passed a J80 sailboat.
Reinauer’s Kristy Ann/RTC 80 ATB returned from Buckeye Albany terminal, heading for the Upper Bay in the afternoon heat.
Kristy Ann passed the towers of Guttenberg.
The low slung J. Arnold Witte continues to shuffle dredging barges and mud scows at the cruise terminal.
Vane’s Charleston passed the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ monument on West 87th Street with a tank barge, returning from the Sprague Terminal in Rensselaer and heading for the Shell Terminal in Sewaren.
Another Vane tug, the Wye River, last seen almost exactly a year ago on NRN, left anchorage off Yonkers and headed for the Vane docks in Red Hook/Gowanus Bay.
The survey vessel Time and Tide is operating off Pier 66, likely mapping the bottom in preparation for work on the new Hudson rail tunnels to be dug through here.
