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.

Dann’s Chesapeake Bay left anchorage off Englewood Cliffs Friday morning and headed down the North River with the barge Chesapeake on the wire. Tugs towing astern on the North River are almost always returning from sea or heading for sea, and the latter was the case this time. Chesapeake Bay and Chesapeake passed through the Narrows and headed down the Jersey Shore, destined for Philly.
