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.

You never know what an offshore breeze will bring up the North River. The sail freighter Grain de Sail II is anchored off 72nd Street this morning ahead of gales expected later in the day, first time I have seen her. The ship makes two trips a year brining wine and chocolate from France to NYC and then heads for the Dominican Republic with humanitarian supplies before heading back to France with cocoa and coffee.
Haha you can actually buy it on their website: https://graindesail-overseas.com/chocolates
