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.

Carver’s Helen came up the North River Thursday with a hopper barge loaded with, I believe, salt lightered off a bulk ship in from Egypt that was anchored in the Upper Bay. Road salt supplies up north have been much depleted by the harsh winter. They passed the anchored Reinauer Twins/ RTC 104 ATB, a good-sized unit with 413 feet on the barge which had returned from a New England run.
