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 Nicole Leigh Reinauer/RTC 135 combination is the biggest ATB we see regularly coming through on runs upriver, though we don’t see her as often as some of the smaller units. The Nicole Leigh tug is rated at 7,200 horsepower and the barge is 460 feet long.
Last week, the unit was returning to the harbor from Albany and passing Port Imperial in Weehawken. This week, Nicole/135 visited Boston and is currently on the way home having just cleared the Cape Cod Canal Tuesday morning.
