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.

Friday September 6–Goodbye Summer

The North River has been busy in the days following Labor Day, with oil products and dry bulk on the move.

Saint Emilion and the A87 barge spent the early part of the week anchored off Edgewater. By the end of the week, they had headed to anchorage in the Upper Bay.
Vanes Patuxent moved from anchorage off Yonkers to the Vane dock in Red Hook.
Topaz Coast brought a sugar barge up from Florida to Yonkers on Tuesday and then ran light down to the Kill van Kull for servicing.
By Friday, Topaz was towing the barge astern and heading for Florida, shadowed by Metropolitan Marine’s Normandy which had helped the barge leave the dock in Yonkers.
Normandy had tied up at the end of Pier 86 on Tuesday, waiting to help land a bunkering barge alongside the Serenade of the Seas cruise ship at Pier 88.
Serenade was transiting from Europe to autumn cruising grounds in the Caribbean
The 650’ bulk ship Aquavita Wealth was high in the water heading or the Port of Coeymans, probably to load scrap for export back to Turkey.
Genesis Vigilant headed for anchorage in Yonkers, passing the anchored Janice Ann Reinauer/RTC 103 ATB.
Later, 1970s vintage Stephan Reinauer passed 2021 Janice Ann with a cargo heading for Albany.
J. Arnold Witte was working DSNY’s waste paper transfer station before heading north to join the weekend Tugboat Roundup in Waterford, NY.
