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.

Collecting a barge

Ross Sea heading north Friday to collect her barge, passing Josephine/RTC 83 ATB at anchor off North Bergen

Kirby tug Ross Sea came up the North River early Friday running light, passing the anchored Reinauer Josephine ATB on the way up the West Side. They were heading for Kingston to pick up a barge being serviced at the Feeney Shipyard there. Ross Sea returned with the 386-foot Randy King tank barge Sunday afternoon heading for the harbor. Norfolk’s Charles James William seemingly provided an escort, following at a respectful distance. I believe Ross Sea and Randy King normally operate further south down the coast in Philly or Norfolk.
