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.

Sound Marine of Nyack’s 680 HP tug Matthew G brought a hopper barge loaded with aggregate down from the quarry dock in Hudson NY. They were heading for Hunts Point in the Bronx and the location of the new Con Agg terminal being built at that site, making this one of the first or perhaps the first shipment to that new stop on NYC’s Blue Highway. For more on the new terminal, see gCaptain story from April.
