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.

The French navy dropped in for a visit to NYC Wednesday, with the amphibious assault ship Mistral, one of three in the French fleet, and the frigate Surcouf tieing up on the south side of Pier 88. The ships are about half way through a five month training mission making a clockwise circuit around the North Atlantic. They previously called on New Orleans and conducted exercises with the US Navy off the coast of North Carolina.
