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.

New York State Marine Highway tug Nathan G, 1977 vintage and 1,200 HP, was working at the Gateway Tunnel cofferdam site off Pier 66 on Thursday. Visible in the background are tank truck trailers on a barge holding cement that will be mixed with river water and mud to reinforce the river bottom at this point, allowing the tunnel to eventually be drilled through.
