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.

Miss Ila, a 1962-vintage 2,400 HP tug belonging to Sterling Equipment Company of Quincy, Mass and Staten Island and not seen before by me, came up the North River on July 30 with a deck barge. Photos of her return voyage taken the next day by Hudson River photographer Glenn Raymo suggest she picked up some equipment up there. As of Sunday morning, she is in Delaware Bay having departed Baltimore and cleared the C&D Canal overnight.
