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.

Army excursion

The US Army logistics vessel CW3 Harold C. Clinger passed Spuyten Duyvil heading south Friday afternoon. The 273-foot long RoRo had come up the North River from Norfolk earlier in the day, traveling up the Hudson to Bear Mountain Bridge before turning around and heading back to sea and Virginia. Clinger is based near Norfolk now and, I believe, has a reserve training role. She made a similar excursion in May of 2024, though only going as far up as Yonkers then, and presumably these trips are for training purposes. The ship is designed to move army cargo, vehicles or tanks long distances and can discharge on beaches as well.
