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.

Norfolk Tug’s George Holland passed Weehawken with a light hopper barge on the hip last week, heading to Clinton Point to collect a stone cargo. They were approaching the point where the channel is squeezed by the Gateway Tunnel coffer dam, coordinating with the pilot of an outbound cruise ship on the other side. As of today Tuesday morning, George is again on the way up to Clinton Point having completed a delivery at the Tilcon dock on the Hempstead Bay side of Port Washington the day before.
