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.

Cement barges are moving on the North River this week. Tuesday morning saw Dann Marine’s Sapphire Coast with light Transporter 1801 heading back to the Amrize plant near Ravenna, NY to load more cargo after discharging at terminals in New England and also calling at the materials pier in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park. The evening before, Coral Coast came through with a loaded cement barge from the plant heading for College Point on Flushing Bay in Queens.
