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.

Dann Marine’s 2,400 HP tug Gulf Coast came up the North River Friday with a Vane Brothers tank barge loaded with a New York Harbor products cargo heading for the fuel terminal in Peekskill. Gulf returned to the harbor early the next morning with the barge light as winter weather moved in. Peekskill’s Meenan Oil Terminal (technically just outside of the village limits) is the only fuel depot on the Westchester County Hudson River shoreline still taking deliveries by barge.
