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.

Heavy winds earlier this week saw a number of Reinauer units come up the North River to anchor. On Tuesday evening, Stephen Reinauer brought RTC 60 up, shadowed by Lucy Reinauer who then took over the barge at anchor while Stephen returned to the harbor. On Wednesday morning, the big Reinauer Twins/RTC 104 ATB came up, passing Curtis Reinauer/ RTC 82 at anchor. The tugs are similarly sized but the Twins’ barge is over 60 feet longer.
