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.

The Vane Brothers 4,200 HP 2008 vintage tug Patuxent was northbound on the North River Sunday morning with the light tank barge Double Skin 601 (361 feet long, 56,000 barrel capacity). Patuxent was heading for anchorage off Riverdale where she spent the day, departing after sundown for the Buckeye Perth Amboy terminal on the Arthur Kill where she remained at sunrise Monday, presumably loading a new cargo.
