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.

A pair of Vane Brothers tugs maneuvered a bunkering barge out of the tight space between North River Piers 88 and 90 on Monday just before sunset. The city’s Economic Development Corporation noted this week that Pier 90, on the right of the photo, has deteriorated to an extent it must now be taken out of service, reducing capacity at the terminal by 1/3rd (see article on W42ST for more).
