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.

Monday May 20–familiar faces

Familiar traffic moved up and down the North River Monday as temperatures climbed into the 70s.

The Army Corp’s Gelberman was on their usual daily patrol for hazards to navigation.
Stasinos’s Charles James headed north on unknown business, passing Newburgh by 17:00.
Poling-Cutler’s Marilyn George had the Noelle Cutler barge loaded with oil product and heading for Albany.
Boston Towing’s Pinuccia and the New York 30 barge were also heading upstate, possibly only as far as Newburgh though.
Buchanan12 was on their usual daily run returning empty hoppers to Clinton Point and passing Classic Harbor Lines’ Manhattan II on two.
CMT’s Mister Jim had an extra large hopper barge with spuds loaded with what may have been salt lightered off the bulk ship Barrow Island in from Italy and anchored in the Upper Bay. They were heading back to Coeymans
Saint Emilion, not seen by NRN since March when they headed into GMD Shipyard in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, was back on the river and reunited with the freshly painted A87 barge. Marilyn George brought the barge back from Rensselaer last week and it seems that the Saint made a delivery run up to Albany this weekend.
