Dutch-flagged cargo ship Singelgracht was on the North River bound for Port of Albany on Sunday morning, arrivng from Finland. She’ll likely be either delivering some project cargo up there or loading some heavy machinery for export.


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.
