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.

Ruby Coast ran light up the North River on Friday afternoon, returning from servicing on the KvK to rejoin a sugar barge left docked in Yonkers. Sapphire Coast followed a bit later to help sail the barge off the dock at the plant and then returned light to the harbor, passing Lackawanna terminal on the way just before sunset in the photo. Ruby headed for sea and Baltimore with the barge in tow just after dark (no photo).
