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.

Most of the tugs we see with tanker barges on the North River are in the notch, pushing from astern, but sometimes we see other configurations. On Thursday, Kristen Poling returned from Boston via the Sound with the Eva Leigh Cutler on the wire, and on Friday, Patrice McAllister returned to the harbor with RCM 262 on the hip.
