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.

Work is well underway now on the restoration of the old New York Central 69th Street transfer bridge. Workers have built a scaffolding and removed the non-historic sheet metal exterior and netting leaving the original iron work exposed. Down below two weeks ago, a fisherman who had been trespassing on the spud barges tried in vain to explain to the NYPD why he needed access. He was not detained or summonsed and eventually went on his way.
