Champlain Hudson Power Express arrives at the North River

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.

Champlain Hudson Power Express arrives at the North River

The cable-laying vessel Ariadne arrived off Spuyten Duyvil at the top end of the North River this week to work on some of the final sections of the Champlain Hudson Power Express. The cable, which will bring hydro-generated electricity from Canada to New York City beginning next year, makes a turn at this point, entering the Harlem River after running under the Hudson from Rockland County to here. It will pass under the Harlem River, along the north shore of Randalls Island and then cross the East River to its landing point in Astoria.
