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.

A cargo of sugar arrived on the North River from the Dominican Republic just after sunrise on Monday morning aboard the Panama-flagged bulker Century Melody. They were heading for the refinery in Yonkers. The plant there has been operating for over 100 years and also receives domestic sugar deliveries via U.S. flagged barges.
