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.

Replenishment

The German navy’s replenishment ship Berlin arrived on the North River Friday morning and has tied up on the south side of Pier 88. The 569-foot Berlin and its other two classmates are the largest ships in the German navy. Berlin arrived in New York after spending some time on exercises with the Canadian navy in Arctic waters and helping familiarize Canadian mariners with the operations of the ship which is the model for a class of two vessels under construction for Canadian forces. Germany’s Canada embassy’s Facebook page says Berlin’s arrival in New York is meant to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the US Navy, which is being celebrated in events next month presumably after Berlin will have departed.
