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.

The Army Corps of Engineers driftwood collection vessel Gelberman exited the North River after a patrol on Wednesday. Gelberman was passing the office towers and Colgate Clock of Paulus Hook in Jersey City, the former site of Colgate-Palmolive’s HQ and factory complex until the 1980s. Container cranes in Bayonne are visible in the distance.
