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.

Tuesday May 14–working boats

Henry Marine Service’s tug Robert IV brought a Weeks crane barge up the North River and stationed it off Pier 66 on Tuesday. The crane will be involved with soil studies in preparation for the beginning of work on the Gateway Tunnel, according to a Coast Guard information bulletin.
DonJon crews continue to conduct maintenance dredging operations at the cruise terminal. The low-slung J. Arnold Witte is maneuvering mud scows at the site.
And Atlantic Enterprise is towing loaded scows down to the dumping ground off Sandy Hook.
The venerable Dace Reinauer is back on the North River heading upstate, but with a shorter barge than usual, the 300’ RTC 42.
Poling-Cutler’s Marilyn George brought one of the company’s barges back from Albany, heading for the Kills.
