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.

Going out like a lamb

A clear and windy Thursday saw Morgan Reinauer with RTC 103 and Saint Emilion with tank barge A87 anchored in the North River about 1/2 mile apart from each other and about 4 miles south of the GW Bridge. They both stopped here on the way back to the harbor from products deliveries in Albany. Morgan is a 3900 HP tug launched in 1981, while the Saint is 4800 HP and launched in 2008.

Earlier in the week, the Barney Turecamo/Georgia ATB, a big one with 5,100 HP on the tug and 427-foot barge, left anchorage off Yonkers on Monday and passed Port Imperial en route to the Upper Bay.
