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.

June 26–mid-week storm

Dann’s Chesapeake Coast brought the Chesapeake barge up from the bay to North River anchorage ahead of violent thunder storms Wednesday evening. Saint Emilion also dropped anchor with A87 on the way back from Albany.
Captain Dann came up from the harbor to babysit A87 through the storm while the Saint visited the facilities on the KvK and perhaps refueled in Newark. This was the first time we have seen the Captain on NRN in over two years.
By sunrise, the Saint was back in the notch, though by midday they had made up alongside.
And then rigged for towing astern before heading for the harbor at midday and out through the Narrows and to sea for a rare trip out of town. By late afternoon they were moving down the Jersey Shore.
Chesapeake also dropped out of the notch and took up position on the hip.
Dann colleagues aboard Zeus passed them a bit later on with a cement cargo from Ravenna heading for the harbor.
Dann’s East Coast was coming the other way with a sugar cargo from Florida heading for Yonkers on the Sugar Express barge.
Vane’s Bohemia also spent Wednesday night anchored further north before leaving Thursday morning.
Royal Wagenborg cargo ship Virginiaborg came through early Wednesday with a Swedish wood pulp cargo heading for Albany and paper mills up north.
The Cape Hatteras/DBL 81 ATB returned from the Buckeye Rensselaer terminal on Wednesday after a relatively rare run up the Hudson for a Kirby ATB and headed for Buckeye Port Reading.
NYS Marine Highway’s Maddie K brought a stone cargo down to the Bay Ridge flats and then headed up to the asphalt plant in Stamford, passing a sunset cruise.
Buchanan12 had a relatively light consist passing Edgewater Thursday
DonJon’s Paul Andrew collected a waste paper barge from Pier 99 on Thursday morning.
