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.

Old with mods

The Stephen Reinauer tug paired with the 347’ RTC 80 tank barge spent some time anchored on the North River over the weekend. The 2900 HP tug was built back in 1970 but was substantially updated by Reinauer about 20 years ago to convert her to an ATB tug. The raised pilot house is new, but the lines around the stern point to her original vintage. As of Thursday morning, Stephen is parked at the Erie Basin barge port in Red Hook after returning the day before from a product delivery in New Haven.
