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 in train

Vane Brothers tug/barge combinations have been busy on the North River this past week, either heading for Albany with cargo, returning light, or just enjoying sheltered anchorage amid heavy wind conditions. On Tuesday just after sunrise, Pocomoke had light tank barge DS-56 on the hip returning from Albany and heading for the Vane base in Gowanus Bay amid still elevated but diminishing winds. Later the same morning, colleagues on Choptank were in the notch behind another Vane Barge loaded up and headed for the Buckeye terminal in Albany. The final photo shows Vane tugs Patuxent and Philadelphia with barges and the Charleston ATB all at anchor off Riverdale Sunday afternoon ahead of gale warnings went into effect later in the evening.
