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.

Passing friends

The Dean Reinauer/RTC 106 ATB (4,000 HP tug built in 2013 paired with an 108,000 barrel barge) came up the North River Tuesday, passing colleagues on the Josephine/RTC 83 ATB (4,400 HP tug built in 2018 paired with an 86,000 barrel barge) anchored off Guttenberg. Although Dean’s barge looked loaded, the unit was apparently not ready to head for a destination, instead lingering a few hours at anchor a half mile north of Josephine before heading back to the harbor where she remains Thursday morning while Josephine remains at anchor on the North River.
