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.

Centerline’s HMS Justice was at Con Ed’s Pier 98 on Wednesday to retrieve the HMS 2605 barge left there earlier this year. The tug’s crew and maybe a tankerman made up to the barge bow to bow, backed it out into the channel, and then ran around to the stern to push to the GMD Shipyard in Brooklyn. Barges at this pier hold backup fuel oil for the big 59th Street steam plant, mainly used during winter months when natural gas supply is short.
