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.

Don Jon tug Paul Andrew was taking the recycling out on Thursday, maneuvering a DSNY waste paper scow into the channel at North River Pier 99 amid still-heavy winds. Waste paper collected in Manhattan is brought from here to a paper mill on the Arthur Kill shore of Staten Island where it is made into cardboard boxes and other cardboard products.
