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.

Watch out for the wedding cake! Dann’s Discovery Coast kicked off the first work week of summer observations, returning from a delivery to a Rensselaer terminal with Double Skin 58 and heading for the company’s Red Hook dock.Janice Ann Reinauer/RTC 102 also came down from Albany but with the barge loaded, likely with ethanol. They were en route to Providence and, with conditions calm, took the offshore root along the south shore of Long Island.Kirby’s Mt St Elias ATB, last seen by NRN last March, was also on the North River with what looked like a loaded barge, though this cargo would have been taken on in New York Harbor, not Albany. The pair was anchored off Edgewater and later headed for the Upper Bay.Genesis Energy continues to park unused capacity in the North River, with Genesis Glory and GM 11105 back off North Bergen.Metropolitan Marine’s Pegasus helped Vane’s Kings Point maneuver the Double Skin 302 barge alongside the Japanese cruise ship Asuka II at Pier 88.The barge was left alongside as Asuka II refueled. Asuka II is at the half-way point of an around-the-world cruise and will head from here for the Panama Canal.Towboat Buchanan12 went about its usual business, brining empty stone hoppers from the Greenville flats back to Clinton Point.
