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.

San Du Ao, a small 13,000 deadweight ton Hong Kong flagged bitumen tanker, came up the North River Friday evening, passing the GW Bridge, Spuyten Duyvil and J24 sailboat. The tanker was arriving from Colombia, not a very common point of origin for cargos coming up the Hudson, and was likely carrying asphalt. San Du Ao is currently unloading at a terminal in Rensselaer. Coming soon to a pothole near you.
