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.

Meanwhile, at the dam

Stasinos Marine tug Toula C, was back on the North River this week working at the Gateway Tunnel cofferdam off Pier 66. Toula C was first seen on the North River delivering a barge at the 69th Street Transfer bridge restoration project a few weeks ago and then a week later working on the Pier 94 soundstage construction. Stasinos’s Brinn Courtney was also working at the Gateway site this week along with the big 500-ton Weeks 533 crane as the cofferdam begins to leapfrog towards the Manhattan shoreline at the heliport. The project is reinforcing the riverbed here so that the tunnel can be bored safely underneath.
