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 North River was mirror flat in light northeast wind Tuesday morning and still flowing to sea just after low tide after Monday night’s massive thunderstorms and flooding. Alexandros P, a 656-foot Liberia-flagged bulk ship, came through heading for the Port of Coeymans. Alexandros originated in Garrucha, Spain, which makes gypsum a likely cargo, perhaps an ingredient for the Amrize cement plant next door to the port.
