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.

Vane Brothers tug Patuxent ran light down the North River Tuesday afternoon, returning to the Vane base in Red Hook after traveling upriver to visit the Vane tug Philadelphia anchored with a barge off Spuyten Duyvil. They were perhaps delivering crew and/or equipment up there. On the left edge of the photo, the Mexican tall ship Cuauhtémoc is visible moored at the end of Pier 86.
