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.

Captain D, a 2,400 HP Norfolk Towing tug which I don’t think we’ve seen before on the North River, came by Wednesday morning running light returning from a trip up to the Yonkers sugar refinery. I believe they were helping a barge dock at the plant. The barge had likely been waiting at anchor for the foreign-flag bulker that had been unloading to clear, which it did Tuesday evening.
