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.

Passing the clock

The Chios Sunrise, a 625-foot Marshall Islands-flagged bulk ship, entered the icy North River Thursday afternoon, passing Jersey City. She was bound for the wallboard plant in Buchanan, NY with a cargo of gypsum loaded in Garrucha, Spain three weeks ago. The CertainTeed plant in Buchanan is one of two factories on the Westchester shoreline dependent upon marine transportation for their primary raw material, the other being the sugar refinery in Yonkers. The landmark 100-year old Colgate clock is visible in the first photo. The clock once topped the Colgate-Palmolive plant nearby before the factory was razed to make way for office towers.
