Campbell and Long Island

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.

Campbell and Long Island

The Centerline Logistics tug C.F. Campbell, who we have not seen on North River Notes this year, came up here early Friday with the barge Long Island to anchor for the weekend. On the way up, she passed the anchored Kirby Mount St. Elias ATB which had spent most of the week anchored off Guttenberg. By Monday morning, Campbell and Long Island are still at anchor, seen in the morning haze visible to the right of the anchored Gracie M Reinauer ATB. Although it looks in the photo as if they are anchored near each other under the bridge, in fact Gracie is about 1/2 mile north of C.F. Campbell and three miles south of the bridge.
