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.

Liz Vinik came up the North River early Tuesday without a tow, heading for Newburgh. This is the first time I’ve seen this tug, which was built in Oyster Bay in 1962, making her one of the oldest tugs working in NY Harbor. According to tugboatinformation.com, her original name was Esso Maryland. On this trip, Liz made a quick stop at the Buckeye Terminal in Newburgh and then came straight back home, returning to NY Harbor by midnight. I don’t know the purpose of the voyage.
