Spuyten Duyvil

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.

Spuyten Duyvil

The Reinauer Twins/RTC 104 ATB (4,000 HP tug with a 413’ barge) passed the Henry Hudson Bridge and the Amtrak swing bridge over Spuyten Duyvil on a hazy Sunday aftteroon, leaving what I consider the upper limits North River (though the name is applied by some to the entire length of the Hudson to Albany and by others as far up as Tappan Zee). The Twins spent a foggy overnight with their products cargo off Buchanan and were still there by 8 a.m. Monday, perhaps waiting for the fog to lift before continuing north.
