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.

Supplying Connecticut

Sunrise on the North River Wednesday found a pair of Reinauer’s modern ATB units at anchor after returning overnight from delivering New York Harbor fuel or heating oil cargos to terminals in Connecticut ports. Janice Ann/RTC 103, a 4,400 HP 2020 vintage tug paired with a 413 foot/108,000 barrel barge, was anchored off West New York after returning Tuesday evening from New Haven. A little over 1/2 mile further north sat Josephine/RTC 83, a 2018 vintage 4,400 HP tug paired with a smaller 347 foot/86,000 barrel barge who returned from Bridgeport in the early hours of Wednesday.
