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.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: On New Year’s Eve 2023, Hays Tug and Launch’s Linda Sue arrived on the North River from the Delaware River with a Vane tank barge in tow astern. That was the first time I had seen Linda Sue. The tug and barge were around New York Harbor and on the North River periodically in the first few months of 2024 but I haven’t see her since then. Two years later, Linda Sue is currently underway off Virginia, heading from Norfolk to Galveston.
