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.

The municipal tanker Rockaway was heading for the North River water treatment plant Saturday morning and preparing to pass the Greek-flagged supply ship Astrea. Astrea has been working on the Champlain Hudson Power Express project further north and was returning to Port Newark, probably for resupply or service. Rockaway was going to load a cargo of sewage sludge for dewatering at the Passaic Valley Water Commission plant, also in Newark.
