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.

Remembering

In this photo taken in January of this year, Centerline Logistics powerful 6,000 HP tug William F. Fallon, Jr. pushes the barge Flaco up the North River with an oil products cargo for Albany. William F. Fallon, Jr. was a Port Authority of NY/NJ general manager who was killed in the Port’s offices in the attack on the World Trade Center on this day 24 years ago and the tug was named for him in 2022. We saw the tug a few times this winter but she has not been on the North River more recently and I believe may be currently laid up at a yard in Norfolk for service.
