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.

Catch my drift

The Army Corps of Engineers drift collection vessel (DCV) Hayward came up the North River Saturday morning, on patrol for hazards to navigation. Hayward passed the cottages of Edgewater Colony, a cooperative housing development which is the only place in New Jersey where detached single-family homes sit directly on the Hudson River. On Tuesday morning, Hayward is working on the East River, having departed the Corp’s Caven Point base in Jersey City just after sunrise and moving through Hell Gate by 9 a.m. Corps colleagues on Gelberman, the other local DCV which we see on the North River more frequently of late, is currently on the Arthur Kill.
