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.

Coast Guard small harbor tug Bollard, a 65-foot ice breaking cutter based in New Haven, was docked at Coast Guard Station Montauk over the weekend. Bollard is similar to, though a few years younger than, Bayonne-based cutters Line and Hawser and Saugerties-based Wire, all three of which we see on the North River periodically, but Bollard’s patrol area is Long Island sound and its estuaries I believe.
