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.

The Vane Brothers tug Fells Point arrived on the North River on Tuesday with a fuel barge for delivery alongside the cruise ship Allura. Space on the water is compressed by the camera lens, so the sail boat and barge in the third photo are much further apart than they appear in the third photo, and the bridge is about 8 miles to the north. Allura will be running a few cruises up to Canada from here before heading for Miami.
